Physical Principles
- Vibration - either sinusoidal vibration or gyratory vibration.
- Sinusoidal Vibration occurs at an angled plane relative to the horizontal. The vibration is in a wave pattern determined by frequency and amplitude.
- Gyratory Vibration occurs at near level plane at low angles in a reciprocating side to side motion.
- Gravity - This physical interaction is after material is thrown from the screen causing it to fall to a lower level. Gravity also pulls the particles through the screen cloth.
- Density - The density of the material relates to material stratification.
- Electrostatic Force - This force applies to screening when particles are extremely dry or is wet.

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or principles:
“Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself; the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
