Focusing on condition monitoring

Published:  13 September, 2019

PCE INSTRUMENTS says the category condition monitoring in its online shop keeps growing and this category includes various types of tachometers / rotation meters, inspection cameras, thermo hygrometers, contact and non-contact thermometers, infrared thermometers, environmental meters, noise meters / sound level meters, stethoscopes, phase rotation meters, strobe rotation meters / stroboscopes, ultrasonic thickness gauges, UV lamps / UV lights, shaft alignment tools as well as vibration meters and sensors. Some of these meters have a data logging function, some do not.

The vibration tester PCE-VM 25 is one of the test instruments in the category condition monitoring. This meter is often used to ensure smooth machine operation, e. g. by monitoring the oscillation acceleration, velocity and displacement as well as the rotational speed and temperature of engines and roller bearings.

    Shocks or vibrations occur wherever work is carried out with the help of machines. To a certain extent, these vibrations are acceptable but if they become too strong they can cause damage to machines and, in the worst case, even threaten people’s lives. For this reason, machines that are sensitive to shocks and vibrations should be monitored regularly.

  • Condition monitoring solution as simple as a check engine light 

    In order to bring effective, 24/7 condition monitoring to all sizes of business Turck Banner has introduced a self-contained, pre-programmed, starter kit for vibration and temperature monitoring at less than £600. PWE reports.

  • Simplified machine health monitoring  

    The SKF QuickCollect simplifies the collection and interpretation of critical machine condition data, when used in combination with one of two apps. Simple and robust, the sensor monitors both vibration and temperature, transmitting this data wirelessly to a mobile device, where an app is used to provide machine diagnostics for analysis. Designed to be used as part of a walk-through data collection routine the SKF QuickCollect require no special skills to use, yet it can monitor many assets quickly and efficiently, providing an analysis of each asset's condition in real time.
