Fluke 805 Vibration Meter

Fluke Corporation introduces the Fluke 805 Vibration Meter, a portable multifunction vibration screening tool that provides quantifiable information on the bearing and overall health of motors and other rotating equipment. The instrument is suitable for frontline mechanical troubleshooting teams that need reliable and repeatable measurements of rotating equipment to make imperative go/no-go maintenance decisions.

The instrument measures: overall vibration from 10 to 1000 Hz and provides a four-level severity assessment for overall vibration and bearing condition; bearing condition (CF+, or Crest Factor Plus) - the 805 Vibration Meter detects peaks in the vibration signal readings of roller bearings from 4000 to 20,000 Hz and uses a proprietary algorithm to interpret severity to determine if the bearing is going bad; and an infrared sensor automatically measures contact temperature and displays it along with the vibration reading for a broader understanding of machine health.

The handheld meter has a sensor tip design that minimises measurement variations caused by device angle or contact pressure. This reduces operator error and improves the accuracy and repeatability of quick vibration screening. The meter also provides a severity scale for both overall vibration and bearing condition readings. Logged data can be uploaded into Excel to create trending reports.
