ROKADE Data Logging Vibration Meter 2060

Mechanical imperfections in any machine create vibrations, the magnitude of which is proportional to the severity of the defect and the frequency is equal to the frequency of the defect. For e.g. unbalance, misalignment, worn bearings or gears, belt defects, etc. Most of these frequencies lie in the IS defined frequency band of 10Hz-1kHz and each of these contribute to the vibration on a tactically selected point on the machine. The root-mean-square of the velocity of vibration represents the energy of the vibration at that point. Each machine under similar conditions will have a stable vibration value, but in case of any defects developing with use, the vibration will indicate a rising trend.

In such a case further analysis using Vibration Analysis can lead to pinpointing the nature of the defect (Such analysis is possible with an advanced instrument like the 6090)

The 2060 can be setup to open a file for each point under which all the time-stamped values of vibration can be stored, along with the basic settings. Each time the file is opened on the instrument, the trend of these readings is shown as graph of magnitude v/s reading no.

A simple plant-wide route-based vibration measurement program can thus be easily implemented. The name of the file can be intelligently determined by the user to indicate the queue sequence, if desired. The readings can thus be systematically collected and added to the data record periodically to build a robust database for each point. The readings thus stored can also be transferred to a PC using common software such as Excel, or any commonly used serial terminal software

The unit can also be used on a production line for quality control, saving each measurement time-stamped under a user defined file name. 16GB of storage ensures the unit will practically never run out of memory
