Monitran chose today's (13 February 2013) Southern Manufacturing exhibition in Farnborough, to launch its hand-held vibration meter, aimed at condition monitoring for pumps, motors, gearboxes etc.
The MTN/VM220 conforms to ISO10816-3 and has been designed to detect the early signs of component wear or failure in machinery. The meter includes a colour LCD display and can store up to 100 readings (temperature and acceleration, velocity or displacement) against a real-time clock.
Andy Anthony, Monitran's managing director, explains that it measures just 122 x 78 x 28mm, has a tough rubberised case and a long-life rechargeable battery.
It is supplied with a probe, which has a dual-output, general purpose sensor, with default sensitivities of 100mV/g and 10mV/oC.
Also included are a magnetic base and spike, a coiled cable (0.5m nominal to 2m extended) with a 4-pin Lumberg connector at each end, and a universal battery charger.
