Handheld vibration tester

16 September 2009 Test & Measurement

BMG’s technical resources division has extended its range of SPM condition monitoring systems to include the new VibChecker portable instrument, designed for reliable on-site vibration measurement and assessment.

The maintenance tool supports BMG’s BearingChecker, which is used to assess the condition of rolling element bearings during operation in equipment like motors, fan, pumps and gearboxes. The VibChecker gives early warning signs of developing machine problems in order to prevent premature replacement of machine parts. The lightweight tester has an ergonomic design, an easy button operation and user-friendly interface.

The VibChecker is designed for simple vibration checks and with built in FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) capabilities, it is also an efficient device for troubleshooting. Readings are immediately and automatically evaluated according to established ISO standards. The instrument has an internal probe and connector for external ICP transducers. It is capable of displacement, velocity and acceleration RMS and ISO 2372/10816 measurement between the 10 and 1000 Hz frequency range.

Accessories include a comfort grip protective sleeve and a small portable MEMS transducer with magnetic foot, convenient for measurement in narrow spaces.
