Vibration Analyzer


Vibration testing is necessary in determining whether the machine is in good working condition or already suffering from minor to major mechanical flaws. In most cases, even the newly created machines are also tested in the laboratory if it will survive operating for a certain defined time span.

There are many factors that need to consider. The commonly utilized things include climatic chambers, data analyzers, vibration meter, controllers, accelerometers, level recorder, displacement transducers, vibration exciters, and many other test gears for mechanical vibration.

Other vibration test equipment that is also important in vibration analysis is called transducers. They convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Through the electrical signal being produced, the functionality is defined.

Accelerometers are the commonly used transducers because of its outstanding sensitivity and wide spectrum of frequency. This test equipment usually comes in small size and weigh lighter than any other kind of transducers. They do not need the loading of vibrating mechanism just to get the rest results because it would calculate the vibration at a certain point.

Just like any other mechanical, chemical, physical, industrial, or general test equipment, vibration test equipment also very from simple to complex. Some devices only give binary results such as pass-fail results while other give sophisticated data of analysis. Most of vibration test equipment provides graphical display of data results for easier comprehension during analysis process.
