The invention relates to a vibratory stress relief apparatus for medium frequency and low frequency shaft type parts, and a use method thereof. The apparatus comprises a vibration exciter, a support block for clamping and supporting a workpiece, and a support mechanism connected with the support block. The support mechanism comprises a pair of support frames comprising a left support frame and a right support frame, and a support seat for installing the left support frame and the right support frame, wherein the left support frame and the right support frame right are arranged relatively. Thesupport block respectively forms rotatable connections with the left support frame of the support mechanism and the right support frame of the support mechanism. The apparatus further comprises a vibration exciter base for installing the vibration exciter, wherein the vibration exciter base is arranged on the middle portion of the workpiece, the vibration exciter, the vibration exciter base and the workpiece synchronously vibrate during vibratory stress relief. According to the present invention, a simply supported beam form is adopted, the flexural vibration type primary resonance is generated by the shaft type parts under the excitation of the vibration exciter at the natural frequency adopted for shaft flexural vibration; in the prior art, the dynamic stress generated by the apparatus does not reach the requirement of residual stress decreasing, with the apparatus provided by the present invention, the problem in the prior art is solved; the deformation amounts on both ends of the shaft are substantially improved; the dynamic stress distribution of the shaft is uniform so as to effectively reduce the residual stress of the shaft part.
