PCB Piezotronics has released the industry exclusive Model 699A02, a portable, lightweight, battery powered industrial handheld shaker, designed to conveniently verify accelerometer and vibration system performance, as well as confirm operation of interconnecting cables, switching devices and monitoring systems.
 
The unit operates at 159.2 Hz and delivers a controlled, 1 g RMS or 1 g peak acceleration to test accelerometers and vibration sensors weighing up to 250 grams. Model 699A02 is ideal for field troubleshooting predictive maintenance and condition based monitoring systems, and can be used to verify sensor calibration and performance right at the machine, including permanently mounted accelerometers.

Monitran, a world leader in the development and manufacture of sensors for the measurement of vibration and displacement, has launched the VS0004, a complete condition monitoring and alarm module.

Fixed to a piece of plant machinery, the VS0004 can respond to a rise in vibration levels in a number of user-definable ways. The unit has two alarm levels, with the user able to set Alarm 1 between 1 and 50mm/s and with Alarm 2 capable of being set as a multiple of Alarm 1, either 1.5, 2, 3 or 5x.
