Vitec, Inc. products

The Vitec Model 655 Compact Balance Analyzer is used for in-place balancing, vibration measurement and stop-motion analysis of rotating machinery. Its color-coded front panel controls and 6.5 lb. weight make it an easy-to-use field instrument. A single switch selects one of four modes of operation: the Meter mode allows the operator to measure the overall level of vibration in displacement or velocity; the Strobe mode offers user-selectable strobe firing rates for stop-motion analysis; an Analyze mode allows the Model 655 to be tuned to specific frequencies for signature analysis. Balancing is accomplished in the phase mode. The tunable filter is based on a programmable digital LSI chip to give a high degree of accuracy and drift-free readings.

The 654A provides economical protection against rotating machinery failure by indicating increasing vibration levels. These lightweight vibration meters make it easy for all plant personnel to obtain accurate vibration readings. Measuring and recording vibration data taken on rotating plant machinery enables users to develop trending charts which will alert personnel to possible future machinery problems.

The 653A provides economical protection against rotating machinery failure by indicating increasing vibration levels. These lightweight units make it easy for all plant personnel to obtain accurate vibration readings. Measuring and recording vibration data taken on rotating plant machinery enables users to develop trending charts which will alert personnel to possible future machinery problems. These portable units provide three modes of measurement for quick detection of low or high frequency vibration: displacement (mils), velocity (in/sec) and acceleration (G’s). Internal rechargeable batteries provide up to 40 hours of field use. An AC signal output allows for analysis with an oscilloscope or other signal analyzer. The Model 653A is a digital vibration meter with the added function of a bearing test mode which allows for early detection of defective anti-friction bearings (ball or roller) and gears.
