Well, folks, if you’re lookin’ for a way to test them vibration sensors, I reckon you’ve come to the right place. I heard tell that Hardy Instruments got themselves a fine piece of work in them shaker tables. Now, don’t go gettin’ all confused, ‘cause it’s just a fancy name for somethin’ that helps test the vibrations on equipment. They got a few models, but let me tell you about a couple that really stand out.
First off, they got this HI 813 Portable Shaker Table. Now, this here table ain’t just for lookin’ at. It’s made for workin’ in the field or the shop. If you’re out there needin’ to check the performance of vibration sensors—whether it’s in the factory, on a truck, or maybe out in the middle of nowhere—you can rely on this one. It lets you check the vibrations from 25 to 10,000 Hz. Now, I don’t know what all them numbers mean exactly, but I reckon that’s plenty of range to make sure your equipment’s workin’ right. It’s even good for transducers and accelerometers, whatever them things are!
Then there’s the Model DI 823 Fixed Frequency Portable Shaker. Now, this one’s a little simpler and easier to use. It’s fixed at 80 Hz, so if you don’t need all that fancy stuff, this one’ll do just fine. It’s Hardy Instruments’ cheapest option, but don’t go thinkin’ that means it’s any less reliable. You still get a good, solid vibration test with this one. Sometimes, simple’s better, especially when you just need somethin’ that works and don’t require all them adjustable settings.
Now, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ that’ll help with quick, on-the-spot checks of them accelerometers and vibration sensors, you might be more interested in the Metrix HI-913 Portable Shaker Table. This one’s field-tested, so you can count on it in all sorts of weather and conditions. If you’re out in the field, you don’t wanna be messin’ around with somethin’ that’s gonna break down the minute the sun comes up. This here shaker can get the job done in no time, and it’s a handy tool for when you need results fast.
If you don’t understand much about this vibration testing business, I can’t say I blame you. It’s one of them things that’s best left to the folks who know their stuff. But if you got equipment that needs to be checked now and then, one of these shaker tables might just be what you need. They’re easy to use, and you won’t have to spend all day fussin’ with it. So, next time you’re out there in the field or in your shop, remember these handy little tools that’ll help keep things runnin’ smooth.
And don’t you forget, Hardy Instruments welcomes any feedback or suggestions for their manuals. If you find somethin’ that needs fixin’, let ‘em know. They seem like the kind of folks who want to make sure their tools work just right for you.
