PCE Instruments PCE-VM 20 Vibrometer for vibration measurement in machinery, evaluation according to DIN ISO 10816, speed range 0 to 200 mm/s
(Incl. Tax: €2,301.59)
The PCE-VM 20 Vibrometer is designed for measuring vibrations in machinery, adhering to the DIN ISO 10816 standard. It features a velocity measurement range from 0 to 200 mm/s, making it suitable for a variety of industrial applications. The device is used for monitoring machinery condition, ensuring proper operation and maintenance by detecting abnormal vibration levels. Its user-friendly interface allows for easy data reading and interpretation, aiding in the efficient assessment of machinery health.
The portable PCE-VM 20 vibration meter is a professional tool for monitoring and analyzing vibrations in industrial machinery. Designed to detect mechanical anomalies early, this device simultaneously measures three key parameters: acceleration (up to 20 g), velocity (up to 200 mm/s), and displacement (up to 2000 µm), covering a broad frequency range from 1 to 10000 Hz.
Its real-time FFT analysis capability identifies dominant frequencies within the vibration spectrum, facilitating diagnosis of common issues like imbalances, misalignments, or bearing damage. Each fault type leaves a characteristic "fingerprint" in the vibration spectrum, which technicians can interpret for timely intervention.

Compliant with DIN ISO 10816 standards, the device automatically assesses machine condition through a color-coded system: the display changes hue (green/yellow/red) when preset threshold values for different power classes are exceeded. This feature enables instant equipment assessment without complex data interpretation.
Particularly useful for periodic inspections, the PCE-VM 20 automatically stores measurements linked to specific checkpoints, creating a timeline for comparative analysis. Its rugged construction and lithium-polymer battery ensure reliability in industrial environments, while configurable files adapt the tool to specific measurement needs.
Ideal for predictive maintenance, this vibrometer helps prevent premature wear, reduce repair costs, and maintain production quality standards by transforming vibration data into actionable insights for optimizing machinery lifespan.
