The Modal Shop 9100D for Rent, Portable Shaker Table/Vibration Calibrator

Product Highlights

Ideal for checking accelerometers, velocity transducers and proximity probes over a wide frequency and amplitude operating range, the 9100D Portable Shaker Vibration Calibrator is rugged throughout, with simple and elegant usability and robust internal components.  In contrast to more elaborate laboratory style systems, the 9100D is a portable vibration shaker and calibrator, making it perfect for testing in the field or at a customer's site.

The unit is small and completely self-contained, providing a known vibration reference source from 5 Hz (420 CPM) up to 10 kHz (600k CPM), at amplitudes up to 20 g (196 m/s²), shaker stroke and sensor mass dependent.  Packaged in a lightweight, durable Pelican^® Case with two press and pull latches and padlockable caps, the 9100D is always ready for travel to test sites.

Validate Vibration Sensors and Instrumentation

Industrial vibration sensor calibration for the following types of vibration sensors, systems, and meters:

• Industrial, seismic and high temp charge output accelerometers
• 4-20 mA loop velocity vibration transmitters
• Eddy current probes / proximity probes
• Moving coil vibration sensors
• Condition monitoring system, process control, DCS and SCADA
• Portable vibration meters and analyzers

Benefits of Field Testing

• Reduced Business Interruption Insurance Risk: Calibration, vibration sensor validation, and confirmation of alarms in the vibration protection system are part of the recommended best practices issued by risk engineers representing the world's primary insurance underwriters. Checks, certifications and audits of the condition monitoring system - like a well maintained fire protection system - make the plant more desirable in a potentially tough insurance market.
• Cost Savings: Save the maintenance budget, validate old sensors instead of throwing them away. With no moving parts, piezoelectric instrumentation and proximity probes can generate reliable output for years. Too often these sensors are deemed disposable, tossed away and replaced on an annual basis.
• Promote Safety: Catastrophic machinery failures have dangerous consequences. The vibration protection system is often the last line of defense. Simulating vibration faults and testing the system ensures your teammates are safe on the job.
• Reduce Downtime: Machinery failure without warning becomes a thing of the past with a field tested vibration protection system.
• Peace of Mind: When that $1 million asset begins to fail, will you get a critical text to your cell phone from the monitoring system? The calibrator is a low cost insurance policy against vibration protection system failure. Simulating vibration faults at various running speeds allows reliability managers to ensure they will.
