Bruel & Kjaer 2511

Vibration Meter

This Bruel and Kjaer 2511 Vibration Meter is in excellent physical and electrical condition.  It has a few very small scratches and dings on the edges.  I just put brand new Nicad batteries in it.   

Specifications

Recommended Transducer : - Bruel & Kjaer 4370 piezoelectric accelerometer with a nominal sensitivity of 10 pC/ms^-2 ~ 100 pC/g

Measurement Ranges : - with 4370 accelerometer.

Acceleration     0.3 Hz      0.002 - 100 ms^-2     0.0002 - 10 g
Velocity           3 Hz         0.02 - 1000 mm/s    0.001 - 100 in/s
Displacement   10 Hz       0.0003 - 10 mm       0.00002 - 1 inch

The above figures are for wide band measurements.  The minimum levels are RMS and are 6 dB (2 x) above the wide band instrument RMS noise level.  If the next lower low frequency setting is selected, then the minimum limit for velocity measurements is a factor of 3 to 4 higher.  The next lower low frequency for displacement settings will increase the minimum limit by 10 times.

Accuracy : including accelerometer is ± 5 % absolute overall within linear ranges.
