  When You Need Sound & Vibration Solutions- You Can't Go Past PCB & LMS!

As leaders in measurement and testing technology, and as part of our dedication to keeping you well informed and help you find the right solution, we are pleased to highlight a range of sound and vibration solutions from PCB Piezotronics and LMS International- both leaders in their range of acoustic measurement, vibration and data acquisition technology. In this highlight, we will look at:

  • PCB Piezotronics' vast range of Microphones and Accelerometers

  • LMS' impressive mobile data acquisition front-end: the "SCADAS Mobile"

 

PCB Acoustic Measurement- Microphones

The Vibration Division of PCB® Piezotronics, Inc., offers a variety of acoustic measurement products, including condenser, modern prepolarized, traditional externally polarized, array, probe, low-profile surface, and special purpose microphones. Microphone products are complemented by an assortment of preamplifiers, signal conditioners, A-weighting filters, handheld  calibrators, and accessories.

on PCB's range of acoustic microphones

  • Sound Power Testing

  • Engine Noise Analysis

  • Environmental Noise Analysis

  • Near-field Acoustic Holography

  • Building Noise Studies

  • Acoustic Chamber Testing

  • Sound Pressure Mapping

Series 130 ICP™ Array Microphones provide a cost effective method for large channel count sound pressure measurements. Modern Prepolarized and Traditional, Externally-Polarized Precision Condenser Microphones (Series 377) incorporates microphones of the highest quality, accurate enough to be used for laboratory testing, and rugged enough for field use in Type 1 system measurements.

 

PCB Vibration Sensors- Accelerometers

PCB® offers a vast selection of accelerometers to accommodate anything from routine measurement tasks to extraordinary testing requirements. Whether it’s a cell phone quality assurance test or continuous monitoring of an aircraft engine, we can  help, with sensors which are off-the-shelf or custom designed for a specific application.

General Purpose ICP® Accelerometers: Lightweight titanium or aluminium construction, Shear mode sensing geometry, Resistant to base strain and thermal transient effects, Laser-welded, Hermetically sealed (most models), Adhesive and stud mount styles.

Triaxial ICP® Accelerometers: Measure in three orthogonal directions, Lightweight titanium construction, Shear mode sensing geometry, Single-point hook up for cable or connector

Structural Testing & Modal Analysis Products: ICP® accelerometers with excellent phase characteristics and lightweight construction to minimize mass loading effects, Intelligent mounting, signal conditioning, and cable routing schemes, TEDS options – sensors with on-board memory, which report their identity and sensitivity, Ideal for large channel count and MIMO tests

High Temperature, Charge Output Accelerometers: Engines, Environmental chambers, Gas turbines, Radioactive environments

Shock ICP® Accelerometers: Individually qualified with high-amplitude Hopkinson Bar test, Versions with internal filters for resonance suppression

Low Temperature ICP® Accelerometers: Cryogenic pump testing, Liquefied gas delivery systems, Vacuum pump testing

Low Frequency ICP® Accelerometers: Bridges & civil structures, Building vibration, Floor & foundation monitoring, Optical instrument studies, Semiconductor manufacturing, Site surveys for sensitive equipment

DC Response Accelerometers: Unlike charge output piezoelectric and ICP® accelerometers, DC response accelerometers possess the capability to measure static or constant acceleration without a low frequency cut off restriction, since their frequency response extends to 0 Hz. PCB® offers several sensing technologies for DC response accelerometers, including piezoresistive and capacitive. Applications include aerospace satellite & launch vehicle vibration, automotive crash sled testing, automotive road & load measurements, aviation ground vibration & flight testing, centrifuges and gravitational force.

APPLICATIONS:

  • Automotive & Transportation: Balancing, Body-in-white, Crash Testing, Drive Train Performance, Dynamometer Testing, NVH Studies, Ride Simulation, Road Response, Squeak & Rattle Detection

  • Product Testing: Appliance Design, Drop Testing, Modal Analysis, Package Testing, Quality Assurance, Shaker Control, Sporting Equipment, Structural Testing, Vibration Control, Vibration Stress Screening

  • Research & Education: Animal Studies, Environmental Simulation, Impact & Penetration Studies, Seismic Monitoring

  • Aerospace & Aviation: Flight Flutter, Flight Testing, Ground Vibration Testing (GVT), HUMS, Jet Engine Testing, Landing Gear Response, Launch Vehicle Monitoring, Simulated Pyroshock
