Vibration Meter VM-420 Digital Vibrometer Handheld Vibration Analysis Equipment Acceleration Velocity Displacement Measurement

I used it on my boat to compare engine smoothness at idle, and it performed perfectly.

I bought this vibration meter to track equipment in my workshop, and it’s been a total game changer. The build quality is excellent. I’d recommend it to anyone in need of dependable vibration readings.

I work with a lot of vintage hard drives. Some work, some don't. Some are quiet, while some are very noisy. Since the description mentioned its use to detect problems with motors such as the ones in HVAC systems, I thought maybe it could pick up the spindle vibrations of old hard drives. So I ordered this vibration meter in hopes that it could help indicate the health of old hard drives when compared to known good and bad drives.Unfortunately, it was not sensitive to pick up the vibrations of a spinning hard drive, even the big full size full-height 5-1/4 drives. I don't fault the meter, my purpose was unusual, and I assume it works for its intended purpose. It does work -- the picture shown is the level of vibration in our clothes washer during the spin cycle.

It measures accurately and is extremely easy to use, making it more affordable than other similar options. I was pleasantly surprised by how precisely this vibrometer gauges the speed of moving machines.

I’m not a professional, but I bought it to identify potential issues and compare cylinder banks. It’s been effective for that, and I’m also planning to use it for other upcoming projects.

This vibration meter has been an excellent addition to my toolkit. It’s easily the best one I’ve used in years!

It helped us prevent a breakdown of our generator by allowing us to plan the repair before it failed. We have clearly defined vibration regulations for the main bearings, and this device helped us identify deviations from the norm. The timely repair prevented a shutdown of our enterprise. Now, we use this vibrometer weekly for monitoring.

We utilize it for periodic displacement tasks on moving machinery, and the device handles our requirements flawlessly.
