There is no gain in running 24V. Just pulse those coils for a shorter time. That basically has the same effect. In my experience you can always power down with shorter pulses. However, with 24V you will not get some coils strong enough. Even with very long pulses. There is little to gain from 24V coil voltage.
Quoted from robgo777:The shaker motor is 12vdc and draws a little less than 2.5amps.
You can also run that at 48V. Just use PWM with about 25% duty (or even less). Or pulse it.
