RECOVIB Smart Accelerometers

Our new wireless vibration recorder, the RECOVIB TINY measures vibrations and shocks in all three axes.

It is extremely practical for a vibration diagnosis, offering up to 6 hours of measurement. It’s wireless technology and intuitive operation provides substantial time savings in the performance of your measurements. It is the only range of vibration and shock recorder that allows several sensors to be used simultaneously in a synchronized manner enabling the performance of modal analyses and operational deflection shape analyses on large structures such as bridges or walkways.

We offer different measuring ranges from ± 2/6G to ±15G to ± 200G with a sampling rate of up to 1 KHz. It is able to record 1024 acceleration values (shocks and vibrations) per second.
The RECOVIB Tiny is the smallest, lightest and the most robust recorder on the market that is able to perform recordings in extreme conditions ranging from -10°C to +50°C. It is also dust and water tight to IP65. It can be connected to a PC or a smartphone via USB for measurements download.

The provided software allows for millisecond level time synchronization between sensors. It is also possible to select the start time, the duration and the sensitivity of the measurement. Once the data has been extracted, you can replay it in a data viewer on your smartphone or your PC. The viewer allows for a detailed analysis of the vibrations recorded in the time domain and in the frequency domain. Various signal processing options are available: high-pass, low-pass and band-pass filters, integrator filters (velocity mode) and dual-integrator filters (displacement mode).

RECOVIB Feel has been designed for performing an immediate vibratory analysis. It is connected to an Android device or tablet PC via a USB connection. The supplied application enables the streaming of real-time vibration data on a chart in the time domain and in the frequency domain.

The RECOVIB® industrial accelerometers bridge the gap between the performance of laboratory accelerometers (which are often expensive, fragile and offer low protection) and the robustness of industrial accelerometers (which are sometimes cheaper but often noisy and inaccurate).

Our accelerometers can be deployed in industrial environments for monitoring machinery or structures.

The RECOVIB® accelerometers are of proven design and the majority of the models available are widely used in a variety of fields, such as the machine tools, precision machining and on-shore and off-shore wind energy sectors in monitoring or active vibration control applications.

INTERNAL SIGNAL CONDITIONING

The signals from the vibration sensor are amplified and conditioned by the accelerometer unit itself before being passed to the data acquisition system through a disturbed industrial medium. Our accelerometers are equipped either with a voltage output or a 4-20 mA current output.

The advantage of a voltage or current output also allows for the use of standard connections and acquisition modules (cables, terminals, process inputs etc.) therefore eliminating the need for special cables, fragile connectors or dedicated equipment.

These types of outputs, particularly the current loop output, offer an adequate level of immunity to electromagnetic interference even when a long connection cable is connected to the acquisition system.

LEVEL OF PROTECTION

The RECOVIB® accelerometers are sealed to an ingress protection level of IP67. We are able to design and develop custom-made units using special protective materials (for example, 316L stainless steel for marine environments).

GALVANIC ISOLATION

The RECOVIB® accelerometers offer galvanic isolation of the signal conductors. An additional isolation module is therefore not needed. Multiple sensors can be distributed in multiple locations and connected to the same acquisition system without signal degradation, even in environments with high ground potential differences due to heavy electrical loads operating in close proximity.

WIDE FREQUENCY RANGE WITH LOW FREQUENCY RESPONSE

The RECOVIB® accelerometers operate down to DC allowing for the accurate measurement of low frequency signals. They are therefore also suitable for the monitoring of slow processes (such as monitoring the foundation movements of an off-shore wind turbine etc.).
