SKF has expanded its Microlog range of vibration monitoring and data collection instruments for measuring and analysing vibration on all types of machinery with rotary and reciprocating motion.
New to the SKF Microlog range is the handheld Advisor Pro, which is available in application-specific modules for balancing, conformance checking, spindle assessment, bump testing and FFT analysing.
Designed for use by motor and pump rebuilders, spindle repairers and OEMs, the Advisor Pro modules offer the real-time display of operating conditions, intended to enable engineers to set up and check equipment quickly and simply.
Also available are the GX and AX data collectors and FFT analysers.
Modular in design, these data collectors are available in five models, ranging from single to four channel, and can be upgraded in the field.
This makes it easy for end users to adapt each instrument as the needs of their organisations change; for example, the GX-R single-channel unit can simply be upgraded to a GX-M specification to add an additional two measurement channels with functionality for off-route data analysis and multi-plane balancing.
The AX range of portable route-based instruments feature large-area VGA touchscreens and offer simultaneous tri-axial and four-channel measurements for fast data collection.
Other features include 80kHz Fmax measurements, 25,600 single-channel FFT data collection and a separate trigger input.
Finally, for vibration data collection and analysis in hazardous environments, the latest SKF Microlog CMXA 51-IS can be used in Atex Zone 0 areas and incorporates a monochrome LCD touchscreen.
It is a single-channel, single-route analyser with a low-power 66MHz processor.
The SKF Microlog range of products, designed to simplify on-site data collection and to analyse processes, includes both non-route and route-based instruments.
