The Fluke 810 handheld vibration tester provides information on equipment without requiring extensive monitoring over the long term. The advanced device is designed to discover and diagnose common mechanical problems and can detect vibration along three planes of movement (vertical, horizontal, and axial). It provides a plain-text diagnosis with a recommended solution.
The Fluke 810 is designed to help maintenance professionals determine machine condition and get to the root of problems quickly. It fills the gap that exists between high-end, complex vibration analysers, and low-end vibration pens, which sacrifice accuracy for cost and ease of use. The Fluke 810 offers the diagnostic capabilities of the higher-end analysers along with the speed and convenience of the lower-end devices, at a reasonable price.
The diagnostic technology analyses machine condition and identifies faults by comparing vibration data to an extensive set of rules and algorithms developed over years of field experience. It determines fault severity by simulating a fault-free condition and establishing a baseline for instant comparison to gathered data. Thus every measurement is essentially compared to a 'like new' machine.
The Fluke 810 is programmed to diagnose unbalance, looseness, misalignment and more, and can be used to test a wide variety of mechanical equipment, including motors, fans, blowers, drives, gearboxes, couplings, pumps, compressors and spindles.
