QBC Offers Vibration Monitor Meter

February 7, 2013
A new BETEX professional VibChecker vibration monitor meter from Quality Bearings & Components (QBC) is a light and compact-sized instrument designed for quick and accurate vibration surveys. The meter, identified as the model TB-C780201, provides portable and user-friendly vibration measurement in the 10-1000 Hz frequency range. Measurement results are immediately and automatically evaluated against ISO standards. Green - yellow - red LEDs indicate vibration severity and a real time FFT spectrum is produced for easy pattern recognition. Results can be stored for documentation and follow-up. With its built-in probe, easy button operation and clear symbols, VibChecker is an all set to go instrument: just point the probe and measure to locate vibration related problems. VibChecker is used to trend vibration levels on fans, motors, pumps, compressors and other types of rotating process machinery. Vibration monitoring is a cost-effective predictive maintenance tool. In most cases, vibration measurement can detect a problem long before damage to the machine is done. The repair of equipment failing while in service is many times more costly than planned repairs made possible through vibration monitoring.
