Accelerometers
These accelerometers are for use in inspection, manufacturing and production, and laboratories. Accelerometers are used to measure vibrations and oscillations in machines and installations, as well as in the development of products such as tools or components. It's accelerometers provide the following parameters: vibration acceleration, vibration velocity and vibration displacement. In this way the vibration is recorded with great precision. They are portable devices and their readings can be stored and retrieved for later use. The manufacturer's calibration certificates are included with your first order. Additionally, they can come accompanied with ISO 9000 certification, either with the first order or with it's annual recalibration as stated in the ISO manual. Accelerometers are an irreplaceable tool for the professional on the job. All of our accelerometers can carry out the demanding task in whichever situation regardless of the technical problem that you might have. If you don't find the accelerometers you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 ( 0 ) 191 377 3398 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments.

The PCE-VT 2000, 2600, 204 and 2700 accelerometers are used primarily to determine vibration in machines and installations as relates to vibration acceleration, vibration velocity and vibration displacement. With the help of these accelerometers, professionals will be able to quickly determine in situ the actual situation and the cause of vibrations, then be able to make the necessary adjustments and re-measure to reassess the situation. PCE-VT 3000 series accelerometers can be used in the same way, but it also has a function to analyze the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). For this reason, they are used especially for investigation, in the development of machines and installations or also to take measurements over a period of time in a test environment. 

The above image shows a portion of the parameters taken and analyzed by the PCE-VT 3000. It can also determine and analyze the 'harmonics' with ease and precision.

The upper image shows a fragment of the diverse parameters registered and analyzed with the VT-300 accelerometer as an analysis of frequency. You can also easily and accurately determine and analyze “harmonics”. Accelerometers are normally used for the control of machines rotational axis so the technician will be able to determine and valorate the development of an axis with accuracy. In case of a critical state, the axis may be replaced when the machine does not operate. It is also possible to perform an acoustic valuation with a noise meter (with analysis of frequency). Critical frequencies which can cause damage or annoyance noise level may be detected. Most of our accelerometers can be calibrated to meet the ISO standard, so you can include these accelerometers inside your set of internal quality tools to calibrate them regularly to get a constant accuracy. In the Calibration Certificate the company details or personal details are included.
