AT2040 Portable
Vibration Calibrator

Four test methods to choose from

Shake
Simulate

SHAKE

Mode one is a “shake” operation in which the PVC operates as a simple shaker table. This is useful for performing end-to-end checks or other vibration testing where accelerometer sensitivity is not needed.

SIMULATE

The third main method of operation is “simulate” mode. Simulator mode is similar to “shake” mode, but a function generator is used instead of the electrodynamic shaker. The advantages of using simulator mode to perform vibration checks are numerous. The simulator is more accurate and performs over a wider range because it is not bound to the mechanical limitations of the electrodynamic shaker.

Sensor Sensitivity Test
Bearing Defect Mode

SENSOR SENSITIVITY TEST

The second mode to select from is “test” mode which displays the accelerometer or proximity probe sensitivity reading. These readings can be done in manual mode or full automatic mode. When performing sensitivity test in full automatic mode, a PDF calibration certificate is also generated by the AT-2040 portable vibration calibrator.

In manual mode, amplitude and frequency can be changed manually to show sensor sensitivity at the desired singular point.

Bearing Defect Mode

This mode shakes the unit in a waveform to simulate a bearing defect. Bearing defect mode is available in both simulation and shaker modes. This mode is used for testing impulse or impact signals on transducers or data acquisition systems. The shaker will output a pulse, followed by ringing. These pulses are adjustable in amplitude, frequency, and distance between pulses.
