The vibration meter is used as a hand-held measuring device for the individual assessment of vibrations on machines and systems. With the help of this vibration meter, the actual state can easily be determined on site. Thus, corresponding changes can be made directly on site after the measurement. Thereafter, the new condition can be assessed. Thus, the vibration meter serves as a measuring device for a relative measurement on different machines.

The vibration meter serves essentially as precautionary or preventive maintenance of production machines. Very often, the vibration meter is used to assess the state of smaller electric motors.

The Vibration meter has a measuring range of 0 … 200 m/s² for acceleration. In addition to acceleration, the vibration meter can also measure speed, displacement, frequency and an ISO 18016-3 measurement. During the vibration measurement, an FFT view is simultaneously displayed on the vibration meter. By pressing a button, it is possible to switch from the FFT analysis to the actual wave view of the vibration. This makes it possible to analyse and evaluate a vibration even better with the vibration meter. The magnetic holder of the vibration sensor of the vibration meter is designed in such a way that it can be attached to curvatures with a minimum radius of 20 mm / 0.78″.

In addition to the vibration measurement, the meter also has an external infrared temperature sensor. With this temperature sensor, surface temperatures between -70 … 380 °C / 158 … 716 °F can be measured. Another measuring function of the vibration meter is the contactless speed measurement. This means that the number of revolutions of ventilation systems, for example, can be checked with the vibration meter.

The Vibration meter has a 4 GB memory. The measurement data can then be transferred from the vibration meter to a PC. Free software is available to analyse the data.

Because of its many functions, the meter is a universally applicable measuring tool. Thus, the vibration meter can be used, for example, for maintenance work on generators or engines. Optionally, the vibration meter can be equipped with an ISO certificate.

The vibration recorders of the PCE-VDL series are available in two versions. The vibration meter PCE-VDL 16I contains sensors for the following physical units: temperature, humidity, air pressure, light and 3-axis acceleration. The PCE-VDL 24I has 3-axis acceleration and the max. sampling rate of the acceleration sensor is 1600 Hz.

With the vibration meter PCE-VDL 24I the acceleration sensor is even delivered with a sampling rate of 1600 Hz. The shock and vibration logger is therefore ideally suited for use in fault diagnosis, stress testing, machine inspection, shock measurements and preventive maintenance.
