Vibro

Vibro is a combining form used in English to denote vibration. It derives from the Latin vibrāre, meaning to shake or tremble, and appears in many technical terms that refer to devices, processes, or measurements involving vibration. In engineering and science, vibro- is often attached to words describing either the generation of vibratory motion (for example, vibro motors, vibro shakers) or the use of vibration to achieve a purpose (for example, vibroforming, vibroflotation, vibrocompaction).

Common applications include ground improvement techniques such as vibroflotation and vibrocompaction, where vibrating probes compact loose soils to increase density. Vibro-related measurement disciplines include vibrometry and vibroacoustics, which study the behavior of vibrating systems and their interaction with sound. In manufacturing and material processing, vibro finishing and vibro screening use controlled vibrations to process or separate materials. The prefix also appears in various specialized terms across physics, mechanical engineering, and biomedical fields, sometimes extending to short-form names for devices that generate or detect vibration, such as vibro motors or vibro sensors.

As a proper noun, Vibro may be used as a brand or product name in different markets. Specific meanings depend on context and region, and the term is not tied to a single standard entity.
