SPM Instrument has introduced its
next generation of handheld
measuring devices. The Leonova
Diamond is a portable instrument
for condition measurement in rough
industrial surroundings. Heavy-duty
yet sophisticated, it delivers powerful
analysis and troubleshooting
capabilities.

Building on the successful
Leonova platform,
Leonova Diamond
has state-of-the-art
digital technology and
a robust, rugged design.

It is the first portable
instrument offering the
award-winning SPM HD
measuring technique for
condition monitoring of rolling
element bearings. Able to
reliably measure machine
condition in the 1-20.000 RPM
range, the method has broadened the
potential scope of condition
monitoring to include more
machinery. SPM HD brings to light
machine problems which are
impossible to monitor with some
traditional vibration measurement
techniques.

Suitable both for the beginner and
the advanced vibration analyst,
Leonova Diamond offers sophisticated
vibration analysis capabilities. The
instrument has an excellent signalto-
noise ratio and provides razorsharp
spectrums even where signals
are weak and low in energy content.

The wide frequency range – from 0
to 40KHz – enables measurement
where absolute position is vital. For
machinery with journal bearings, the
instrument measures dynamic and
centerline movement of the shaft.

Multi-channel measurement enables
the use of triaxial transducers and
multi-axes vibration monitoring
while cutting long measuring routes
to a minimum of time.

The powerful HD Order
Tracking, applicable in an RPM
range from just a few to
thousands of revolutions per
minute, enables precise
measurements and detailed
spectrums. On machinery
operating under variable
speed, vibration analysis
with HD Order
Tracking provides
reliable data and
crystal clear
measuring results
also under large RPM
variations. Corrective maintenance
techniques such as run up-coast
down measurement, shaft alignment
and dynamic balancing can be added
as optional modules.

Stefan Lindberg, MD of SPM
Instrument AB, says: “We have
developed a high-performance
instrument that will give long working
life under the most demanding
circumstances. Leonova Diamond puts
portable intelligence and productivity
in the palm of your hand.”
