New vibration meter
Sensonics have introduced Vib-Check, a new pocket-size, battery operated vibration meter complete with a hand-held accelerometer probe for the monitoring of virtually all rotating machinery.
Priced at £395 for the complete kit, Vib-Check is easy to use with three button controls. It meets vibration-management routines in accordance with ISO2372. Its portability encourages regular monitoring, increasing the likelihood of a successful condition-monitoring programme being maintained.
Vib-Check measures vibration as acceleration from 0g to 20g, or velocity from 0mm/s to 50mm/s with level values displayed on the 3.5 digit LCD readout. Its frequency range covers 10Hz to 1kHz and accuracy is ñ0.1mm/s. The unit has an in-built accelerometer checking facility and is powered by a standard PP3 9V battery with a typical life of 30-50h.
The complete kit includes the meter, a hand-held probe with spike, interconnecting cable, carrying case and a guide to vibration monitoring. Various options are available including: coiled or armoured cable of differing lengths; 25mm, 100mm and 200mm length spikes; threaded or bondable adaptors/studs; and quick-lock or magnetic mounts.
