Vibration Calibration

Vibration testing is critical for the discernment of any machine with a rotating shaft in its operation.  From small motors to the giant generators used by electric companies, even the shaft of propeller driven aircraft, both fixed and rotary wing – vibration testing is crucial monitor the health of the rotating parts.  After an initial test to form a baseline set of measurements, a record of vibration measured with a calibrated vibration meter is a necessity to plan for maintenance and prevent catastrophic failure.  Calibration of the vibration meter allows flexibility in the choice of vibration meter used to track the vibration history of a machine, and thus properly plan for maintenance, and to prevent unexpected catastrophic failure. Customers who depend upon vibration monitoring can depend upon JM Test Systems for calibration of their vibration meters and sensors.

From handheld all in one vibration meters to meters with detachable vibration sensors JM Test Systems can calibrate these devices.  Additionally, JM Test Systems verifies units that monitor vibration via remote connection.

The heart of the vibration testing unit is the vibration sensor – and accelerometer or velometer.  This device provides the signal that is measured by the vibration meter/analyzer.  JM Test Systems provides calibration of these devices as well, using our own sensors and vibration calibrators.

If a customer has their own vibration sensor calibrator, or “shaker table”, JM Test systems provides accurate calibration of these carefully monitored vibration sources as well.  We work closely with The Modal Shop and PCB (world leaders in vibration calibration) to provide accurate and traceable calibration of both vibration measuring and analyzing devices as well as vibration generation devices.

In short, the devices to measure and to generate known quantities of vibration are well within the scope of the expertise provided by JM Test Systems to provide dependable calibration/verification of accuracy.
