Digiducer^® + Smartphone = Handheld Vibration Meter

Problem

Handheld vibration meters are the traditional portable solutions for taking vibration level measurements. These measurements are useful for detecting vibration issues in machinery. However, once issues are detected, further analysis often requires more detailed vibration data. Acquiring this necessary data typically means using extra equipment and bringing in a vibration consultant. This additional level of complication can increase costs as well as shutdown time.

Vibration monitoring required

Solution

The Digiducer^® Digital Vibration Meter Kit’s wide range and accuracy captures machinery vibration events from imbalance to misalignment to bearing faults, gear mesh, and pump cavitation. With a hermetically sealed, stainless steel housing, the Digiducer USB Digital Accelerometer is built to survive in tough environments. The VibeCheck smartphone application supplied with the Digital Vibration Meter Kit comes with preset ISO vibration severity scales and alerts the user when vibration readings exceed acceptable thresholds. The application also creates PDF reports with images and isolates high frequency metal-to-metal impacts for easy identification.
