Vibration Meters
Vibration meters are handheld vibration test devices that measure the acceleration, velocity and displacement of vibration on a machine housing. They are used to take periodic measurements at the bearing points of motors, pumps, fans, compressors and gearboxes so that problems such as imbalance, shaft misalignment, looseness and bearing wear are noticed early. The category includes the Unit UT311A, UT312, UT312A and UT315A models; the product data includes peak acceleration in m/s², RMS velocity in mm/s and peak-to-peak displacement measurement, along with 9 V battery and lithium battery power supplies. Compare the quantity you want to measure and its range, the frequency response that matches the machine speed, accuracy, probe type, and usage features such as data hold or battery life. When assessing machine vibration severity, the RMS velocity value is generally used; for high-frequency bearing faults, acceleration measurement is more decisive. A handheld vibration meter is for periodic field measurement; it does not replace a vibration sensor and transmitter fixed to the machine for continuous monitoring.
