Vibration Measurements: Simple and Precise
Motors and mechanical components cause vibrations in machines and plants. These vibrations should be kept as low as possible to cut back on wear and tear and avoid shutdowns. Over time, vibrations can increase due to wear and resonance. That is why many operators need to monitor the vibrations of their machines.
Vibration is measured using piezoelectric vibration sensors and matching evaluation electronics for vibration analysis. Vibration sensors are chosen based on the following criteria: required frequency range, sensitivity, and weight.
Althen provides general purpose, flexible electronic devices for vibration analysis, such as digital displays, data loggers, and long-term recorders. We also offer special software tools that we customize to suit your specific application.
Our VibroMatrix vibration measurement system is a simple solution for measuring and analyzing vibration in industrial settings. This measurement system comprises a 2-channel A/D converter for IEPE vibration sensors and various software tools for PCs and Notebooks.
The stationary VibroLine (VLE Series 1-8) vibration measurement system lets you continually monitor machine and plant vibrations in the long term. Thanks to the device’s 4-zone display, you can check the machines’ status at any time. VibroLine conforms with the DIN ISO 10816 / 20816 standards.
Even if measuring vibrations is not a daily task for you, VibroLine lets you easily measure and assess vibrations – without requiring deeper knowledge of vibration measurement technology.
In addition to vibration sensors and software, Althen also provides vibration measurement related services. We can also configure your measurement system before delivery. What is more, we can handle the entire vibration measurement process for you – or train your employees on vibration measurement and the VibroMatrix and VibroLine systems.
