These new cost effective vibration monitors have been introduced by PCH to accomplish the economical measuring and monitoring of the vibration levels of simple rotating machinery. This new Compact Range of PCH monitors are comparable with electronic watch-dogs. They reduce the need for human intervention and keep periodic measurements to a minimum by permanently monitoring a machine.
For users who aim to prevent their machines from damaging vibrations, such as vibrations emanating from unbalance or misalignment, they are a price- attractive alternative. Bearing damage can often occur when the misalignment or unbalance or a machine is undetected. This means that the machine will keep running for a long time period at a damaging level of vibration. This is the most common cause of serious machine crashes and down time. This can be avoided by these monitors.
