VA-2 3 Axis Vibration Sensor
The VA-2 has a three orthogonal axis (x,y,z) accelerometer head combined with electronic stages of integration that enable not only the acceleration but also velocity and displacement to be measured.
A multiplexed output enables all three axes to be displayed simultaneously on an oscilloscope screen. This mode is extremely useful for getting an impression of the vibration modes present at a site. Often sources of severe vibrations can be quickly identified and steps taken to eliminate them the individual axis may be connected to an FFT analyzer for a detailed spectral analysis of the signals.
