Vibration kit measures temperature

The HS-620 Vibration Monitoring Kit from Hansford Sensors has been joined by a new model. The HS-630 has all the facilities of the previous model and offers a fast, reliable way to measure spot temperature.

The kit contains compact digital vibration meter operating with a hand-held probe, and non-contact temperature measuring sensor aided by a laser locator beam. It will help engineers monitor the trend of vibration and temperature on motors, pumps, gearboxes, fans and all rotating machinery. Suitable as an entry-level unit, the meter's portability means measurements can be taken in-situ in remote parts of the factory.

It can measure bearing condition and levels of velocity, acceleration and displacement, covering any of the four ISO machine group options from large 300kW machines to simple pumps at 15kW
