1) Castle Model GA2002

The Castle GA2002 General Purpose Pocket Vibration Meter offers simple, reliable and accurate results for many types of vibration measurement plus instant Data-logging.

​

Reliable, repeatable and simple are three important criteria most people have when looking at taking vibration measurements. The GA2002 offers this on a plate and at a price unbeatable for what you get. This Instrument will give you all the fundamental vibration measurements in many of their variations using single key strokes. This makes it perfect for general machine and bearing vibration monitoring as well as other general-purpose vibration measurements.

Applications

The uses for this instrument are far-reaching and widespread. One prime example would be a maintenance operator verifying results from a fixed monitoring system or taking measurements for maintenance prediction. Another example is a construction engineer checking that the vibration from a piling operation is not exceeding any environmental thresholds.

 

Features

• Small and Light weight

• Simple to Use

• Highly Robust

• Tactile Keypad

• 8 Character LCD Display

• Simple Data-logging of 9 Data-points

2) Castle Model GA2006S VEXO

The Castle Vexo S has been developed out of the need for an exacting product for an exacting industry. To operate successfully in the world of Maintenance condition monitoring and fault diagnostics, any new vibration meter must live up to certain expectations. The Vexo S has been designed specifically to function at maximum performance when the going is tough.

 

The Vexo S is simple to use, with a clear colour display and a robust and reliable sensor system which brings a new level of clarity to the hands of maintenance teams and production engineers alike.

 

The Vexo S is a single axis vibration meter with a dedicated accelerometer attached via an ultra-robust cable. It has a colour OLED display, simple 3-button operation and memory for storing 1000 test results. Most importantly, once a measurement has been made, colour coded results are given according to ISO 10816 for machinery condition or a dedicated bearing mode will give an indication of the condition of shaft or motor bearings.

 

One unique feature of this product is that it is capable of taking a short average measurement rather than the normal instantaneous test. This will increase the accuracy and repeatability of measurements, which is essential for trending applications. Graphical trending can be viewed using VibdataPRO PC software for Castle Vibration meters.

VEXO S (GA2006S)

The Vexo S is dedicated to monitoring vibration from industrial sources such as rotating machinery, bearing housings and any other source of mechanical vibration. With dedicated alarm modes for machinery rating and bearing condition, the Vexo S is perfectly suited to busy maintenance teams who need the right answers right now!

 

The supplied re-chargeable battery pack and charger means you also won’t ever be fumbling around for fresh batteries when you are supposed to be on the shop floor making measurements!

 

Couldn’t be Simpler!

With a large colour screen and the support of VibdataPro PC software, the Vexo S requires virtually no set-up so power it on, press record and that’s it!

 

Just about everything from here is available to view directly on the screen without the need for scrolling.

 

Connectivity

All measured values can be saved to the internal flash memory of the Vexo for subsequent output. The results can be viewed on the instrument’s own display or downloaded to Castle’s VibdataPro PC software via a high speed USB connection. Software Vibdata LITE is included with each instrument!

 

Miniaturised Power!

The memory built into the Vexo S is large enough to never have to worry about and will store measured results safely in ‘flash’ format. Results can be recalled to the screen or can be downloaded for analysis on a laptop or PC.

 

Each instrument is supplied with a comprehensive user manual in electronic format and a laminated getting started sheet.

 

The Vexo Range

There are 2 models in the Vexo range; the Vexo H as detailed here and the Vexo S, which is a dedicated Industrial and Environmental Vibration meter, with the distinct benefit of small size and powerful measurement capability.

 

Both these meters make full use of their large colour display to ensure the simplest of user interfaces and clearest presentation of results no matter the application.
