Monarch Vibration Strobe VBX Portable Stroboscopes

The Nova-Strobe™ vbx Vibration Xenon Stroboscope is the most versatile strobe on the market! The vbx is uniquely designed to provide precise, instantaneous synchronization to a number of data collectors and FFT analyzers triggered by an accelerometer. Built for portable applications with top of the line features, the vbx is the perfect lightweight vibration and phase analysis tool. Applications include using the stroboscope to measure RPM, balancing and phase measurement, phase analysis, and motion studies.

Available in 3 different kit variations! Order the vibration strobe with just the accelerometer interface cable or add a specialty interface cable for CSI 2120 or SKF CMVA data collectors. Each vbx model comes in a deluxe watertight carry case with die-cut foam insert with the CA-4046-6 accelerometer input cable, a spare xenon flashtube (lamp), and NIST Traceable Certificate.

Features

• Several internal and external operational modes: standard strobe, internal “phase” delay/jog, tachometer frequency generator, external input, external input tachometer, external delay (phase shifting), accelerometer vibration signal lock
• Special “tuning” circuit allows tracking of vibration transducer (accelerometer) signals; narrow and wide bandwidth filter selection to discriminate fundamentals from harmonics
• Individual input and output TTL jacks (1/8″ phone) for synchronization (daisy-chaining), providing signals to remote data collectors from the accelerometer, or external triggering
• Six keypad buttons provide easy control over the strobe’s powerful features
• Flash rates from 30 to 50,000 flashes per minute adjustable in 0.01 FPM increments, the velocity sensitive, coarse/fine adjustment knob makes it quick and easy to set the exact flash rate you want; the ALT knob function multiplies the initial flash rate by 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
• Times 2 (x2) and Divide by 2 (÷2) push buttons allow easy checking for actual RPM, harmonics, and allow stop motion far beyond the 50,000 FPM limit
• Backlit alphanumeric LCD shows flash rate in flashes per minute (FPM) or flashes per second (Hz) and delays in degrees or milliseconds
• Tachometer mode allows accurate speed measurement up to 250,000 RPM using external sensors
• Store and recall up to 9-user selectable values; last measurement memory, even with the power off
• Runs on internal, rechargeable batteries or continuously with PSC-pbxU power supply/recharger provided
• ¼ x 20 tripod mount in handle
• NIST Traceable Certificate included
