The Kanomax USA Model 4200 Vibration Meter is a compact, handheld instrument designed for accurate vibration measurement and condition monitoring of industrial machinery. By measuring acceleration, velocity, and displacement, the Model 4200 helps maintenance technicians, engineers, and quality control teams identify abnormal vibration, evaluate machine condition, and detect potential mechanical problems before they lead to more serious equipment issues.
Designed for use directly on the plant floor, the Model 4200 combines a lightweight, portable meter with a magnetic accelerometer for secure attachment to machinery and repeatable measurements. Its versatile measurement capabilities make it well-suited for routine machinery inspections, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, manufacturing quality assurance, and equipment evaluation.
Measure Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement
The Model 4200 provides multiple vibration measurement modes within a single portable instrument, allowing users to evaluate machinery using acceleration, velocity, or displacement depending on the equipment and diagnostic objective. Measurements can be viewed as RMS, Peak, EQ Peak, and EQ Peak-to-Peak values where applicable.
By measuring several important vibration parameters with one instrument, technicians can more effectively evaluate rotating equipment, motors, pumps, fans, production machinery, and other mechanical systems. A magnetic accelerometer simplifies sensor placement on compatible equipment surfaces while helping provide stable, consistent measurements.
Designed for Industrial Machinery Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Regular vibration measurement can help establish a baseline for machine performance and reveal changes that may indicate developing mechanical problems. The Model 4200’s compact design makes it easy to move between measurement points, supporting routine equipment inspections as well as targeted troubleshooting when abnormal vibration is suspected.
For more detailed machinery diagnostics, optional headphones and an auscultation rod allow technicians to listen to vibration while simultaneously evaluating measured vibration levels. This combination of quantitative measurement and audible monitoring can provide additional insight when investigating potential vibration sources.
Portable Data Collection for Machinery Condition Monitoring
The Model 4200 includes data hold and onboard memory for storing up to 256 measurement records, making it easier to collect vibration readings from multiple machines or predetermined measurement points during inspection rounds. Measurement settings can also be retained between uses to streamline repeated testing.
Built-in RS232C communication enables vibration data to be transferred for further analysis, documentation, and reporting. The meter can interface with a PC using compatible data management software or connect directly to a supported printer, providing flexible options for maintaining machinery inspection records and tracking vibration measurements over time.
Compact Vibration Meter for Field and Manufacturing Use
With its handheld design and straightforward controls, the Model 4200 is designed for convenient single-handed operation in industrial environments. It can be used for scheduled machinery checkups, manufacturing quality assurance, equipment commissioning, maintenance investigations, and evaluation of machinery or new equipment under development.
For facilities seeking a portable vibration meter that combines accurate measurement, practical machinery diagnostics, and flexible data output, the Kanomax Model 4200 provides an effective tool for routine vibration monitoring and equipment condition assessment.
