Vibration can cause several types of problems with your machinery, such as:
Endanger the operational safety of roller bearings
Substantially shorten the life expectancy of roller bearings
Generate very high noise levels
Reduce work quality
Hofmann offers two portable test devices that enable you to measure unbalance and vibration in your machinery, onsite and in field conditions:
The PB-2000 Portable Balancer, which measures both unbalance and vibration
The VL 8000 Vibration and Balancing Instrument
Both devices are simple to use, accurate in readings, and operational in multiple languages. Using the results, you can determine the causes of vibration and amount of unbalance, and correct them as needed.
