● Machinery vibration analysis and dynamic balancing, single and two plane ● On-the-spot trouble-shooting of vibration problems ● Large, easy to read meters ● Rugged, solid state construction ● Dual function, high intensity strobe ● Connects to X-Y recorders for graphing
Balmac's Model 216-D Vibration Analyzer/Balancer is designed to check vibration of rotating machinery as well as balance machines on a day-to-day basis. It is an essential instrument for start up and basic, low-cost predictive maintenance programs.
The Model 216-D is especially useful for training personnel in vibration analysis. It features a large, easy-to-read analog amplitude meter, a digital frequency meter and a dual function, high intensity strobe light for balancing that also provides concen-trated light on the workpiece.
Instrumentation is enclosed in a dust- and rain-tight enclosure so the instrument can be used in shop or on field-service applications.
Instruction materials are easy to understand, and minimal training is required for personnel to conduct accurate and rapid analysis and balancing on rotating machinery.
The 216-D Analyzer/Balancer,probe, strobe and cables are fitted into a heavy-duty, aviation- style case. The unit packs in such a way to permit recharging of battery without removing the instrument from the case. The case fits easily under airline seats.
BENEFITS OF VIBRATION ANALYSIS
Vibration analysis is an effective maintenance tool that can help rotating equipment manufacturers, service contracotrs and maintenance departments save repair costs and increase profitability.
Studies show most rotating machinery failures are preceded by a rise in vibration levels. Excessive vibration results in bad bearings, cracks in pipes and foundations, broken mounting bolts, misalignment and unbalance. Even more serious, and entire HVAC system, production line, or pumping operation could be shut down due to an individual piece of machinery failing.
Periodically measuring and recording vibration data in rotating machinery reveals trends and increased vibraiton levels. Analyzing this data assists operators to schedule maintenance. Minor, less costly problems are corrected before they become expensive failures.
