PCT No. PCT/NO96/00119 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 27, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 27, 1997 PCT Filed May 14, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/36888 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 21, 1996The invention disclosed is a drive assembly for acoustic sources having sound emitting surfaces (1) adapted to be excited into vibrational motions. The invention is especially for use in seismic surveys. The drive assembly includes an electric rotational motor with at least one associated axle comprising at least an axle part (18) and a number of rods (21, 22) arranged radially in relation to the axle. The inner ends of the rods (21, 22) are influenced by the axle part (18) and the outer ends of the rods (21, 22) are adapted to excite the sound emitting surfaces (1) into vibrational motion. The inner ends of the rods (21, 22) are connected to the axle part (18) and the connection is adapted to perform both push and pull forces upon the rods. One or more spring elements (23) are provided between at least one of the rods (21, 22) and the sound emitting surfaces (1).
