SKF’s new MSL-7000 series laser vibrometer offers a non-contact means for measuring vibration and structure-borne noise from fans, electric motors and pumps. According to the manufacturer, direct integration of this new instrument into a production line also can create a real-time quality control system that measures structure-borne vibration in products with low noise/vibration requirements.
The digital, single-unit laser has no contacting parts, nor does it require servo-mechanisms or noise-protection gear during use. Measurements range from 0.2 Hz up to 22 kHz and can be combined with SKF Microlog portable vibration monitoring and data collection instruments. Users can then perform advanced measurements and monitoring in difficult to reach areas, on hot or rotating parts, through glass and more.
Model MSL-7000C is available for laptop use with SKF FPM Software. A mobile data acquisition card is also available.
