New vibration tester is hand-held unit
Here's the Fluke 810 vibration tester, which enables maintenance teams to rapidly collect data and diagnose and solve mechanical problems with an easy to use tool.
The hand-held unit is designed and programmed to diagnose the most common mechanical problems of unbalance, looseness, misalignment, and bearing failures in a variety of mechanical equipment, including motors, fans, blowers, belts and chain drives, gearboxes, couplings, pumps, compressors, closed coupled machines, and spindles.
When it detects a fault, the Fluke 810 identifies the problem and rates its severity on a four-level scale to help the maintenance professional prioritize maintenance tasks. It also recommends repairs. Context-sensitive on-board help menus provide new users with real-time guidance and tips.
The tester uses a simple step-by-step process to report on machine faults the first time measurements are taken. The combination of plain-text diagnoses, severity ratings, and repair recommendations helps users make better maintenance decisions and address critical problems first, the firm points out.
The Fluke 810 is designed specifically for maintenance professionals who need to troubleshoot mechanical problems and quickly understand the root cause of equipment condition.
