Fluke 805 vibration meter

The Fluke 805 vibration meter is a portable multifunction vibration screening tool that provides quantifiable information on the bearing and overall health of motors and other rotating equipment.

The Fluke 805 is suitable for frontline mechanical troubleshooting teams that need reliable and repeatable measurements of rotating equipment to make go/no-go maintenance decisions.

The meter measures overall vibration from 10 to 1000 Hz and provides a four-level severity assessment for overall vibration and bearing condition. It also measures bearing condition (CF+, or Crest Factor Plus), detecting peaks in the vibration signal readings of roller bearings from 4000 to 20,000 Hz and uses a proprietary algorithm to interpret severity to determine if the bearing is going bad.

An infrared sensor automatically measures contact temperature and displays it along with the vibration reading for a broader understanding of machine health.

The sensor tip design minimises measurement variations caused by device angle or contact pressure. This may reduce operator error and improve the accuracy and repeatability of quick vibration screening.

The meter also provides a severity scale for both overall vibration and bearing condition readings. Logged data can be easily uploaded into Excel to create trending reports.
