Solutions for Vibration Monitoring
Introduction
IRD Mechanalysis Limited is a provider of Condition Monitoring Solutions to the World since 1962. Also commonly referred to as 'IRD' and 'The Vibration People' - IRD provides Solutions for Vibration, Temperature, Speed, Gap and Turbine Monitoring - with Vibration being the stronghold. IRD has a variety of Solutions for Vibration Monitoring ranging from Online Systems to Portable Instruments to Software Solutions and Associated Services.
For Online Systems we have Vibration Sensors - voltage output or 4-20 mA output, Vibration Transmitters - Din-Rail as well as Wall-Mountable and Vibration Monitoring Systems - Rack Based and API670 Compliant
For Portable Instruments we have Vibration Meters - both Analog as well as Digital, Bearing Health Checkers - for Rolling Element Bearings, Vibration Analysers and Balancers, Motor Demo Units - that can simulate faults and Portable Shakers - that can help check Calibration
For Software Solutions we have Oliver Software - homegrown and comes in Basic, Advanced and Extreme versions for Vibration Monitoring and Analysis. We also have Cloud Based Vibration Monitoring Solutions.
Our Associated Services include Training, Consulting, Commissioning, Repairs and Calibration
Online Systems for Vibration Monitoring
IRD manufactures Sensors, Transmitters & Monitors for Round-the-Clock Vibration Monitoring. These Sensors and Systems not only Monitor and Transmit Vibration Levels - but can also offer Protection to the Monitored Machine from ill effects of High Vibration. We chose the right sensor and system based on client and project requirements. Our Online Systems undergo multi-point Quality checks like 100 hours Burn-In, 5-point Calibration and more - to ensure these systems perform reliably for decades after being put to use and offer peace of mind to the Customer
Vibration Sensors - Contact as well as Non-Contact type
We manufacture and offer both Contact Type as well as Non-Contact type Vibration Sensors. These could be Accelerometers with mV/g output or Velometers with mV/mm/sec output for Casing Vibration Monitoring OR Eddy Current Based Non-Contact Pickups with mV/micron output for Relative Shaft Vibration Monitoring. Explore the vast range of Sensors including Loop Powered 4-20 mA output Vibration Sensors that connect directly to DCS/PLC/SCADA
Vibration Transmitters - Din Rail as well as Wall Mounted
We manufacture and offer Field mountable as well as Panel Mountable Vibration Transmitters. These come in both Din Rail mountable (IRD7400 and IRD7200) as well as wall mountable (IRD7100) variants. These transmitters can be single, dual, triple or four channel and can be enclosed in Al Die Cast or Polycarbonate or FRP enclosure to provide great Ingress Protection upto IP65. These Transmitters provide 4-20 mA output, MODBUS Output and Relay Contacts for Round-the-Clock Monitoring and Protection of Plant Assets such as Motors, Pumps, Fans, Compressors and more
Vibration Monitors - Rack Based and API670 Compliant
We manufacture API670 compliant Machinery Protection Systems. IRD8800 Series is one such system. It is Micro-processor based, Password Protected, Rack Based and has all the features needed from a Machinery Protection System. It provides 4-20 mA output, Inbuilt Live Alphanumeric as well as Bar Graph Display, MODBUS Output, Buffered Output as well as Relay Contacts. It has features like Start-Up Attenuation, Trip Bypass and more. It accepts Redundant Power Input and the modules are Hot-Swappable. It is ideal for Round-the-Clock Monitoring and Protection of Critical Assets such as Motors, Pumps, Fans, Turbines, Generators and more.
