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 measurements 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 German offices: +49 (0)29 03 976 99-52; our Italian offices: +39 0583 975 114; or our Spanish offices: +34 967 543 548 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments.

You will find technical specifications for accelerometers at the following links:

- PCE-VT 2600 series accelerometers
  (accelerometers for the preventative maintenance of production machinery)

- PCE-VT 2000 series accelerometers
  (pocket accelerometers for vibration velocity in machines and installations)

- PCE-VT 2700 series accelerometers 
 (to quickly test on site to make simple comparative measurements of vibration)

- PCE-VT 204 series accelerometers 
  (for the inspection of motors, mechanisms and ball bearings)

- PCE-VT 3000 series accelerometers 
  (handheld device for measuring vibrations and oscillations, with internal memory)

- PCE-S41 series accelerometers   
  (stethescopes used for inspection and maintenance)

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.
