With the VB-2000, maintenance personnel can monitor all significant aspects of mechanical machine condition during a single inspection round:

the mechanical condition of rolling bearings (bearing damage development)

general machine condition (the effect structural looseness, misalignment and out-of-balance on machine vibration).

The purpose of systematic condition monitoring is

to avoid unnecessary overhauls of machines in good working order

to avoid routine replacement of serviceable bearings

to detect impending problems in time for planned repairs and replacements, avoiding both breakdowns and unnecessary production stops.

The condition monitoring functions of the VB-2000 are based on two widely used measuring techniques:

SPM’s patented Shock Pulse Method for bearing monitoring

broad band vibration velocity measurement according to ISO 2372.

The VB-2000 requires few input data and allows an instant interpretation of machine condition by supplying:

direct indication of machine vibration and bearing condition in terms of good - reduced - bad

digital display of shock values and vibration severity

peak readings and earphone mode for e*tended bearing condition evaluation
