Vibration Analysis Tools Let Users Explore New Avenues for Optimization


Emerson’s CSI 2125-IS analyzer is certified for use in
specified hazardous environments.
Vibration in mining equipment is a physical force that can either be destructive or beneficial, depending on the application. No matter the intended purpose, however, significant vibration must be monitored and measured to analyze the effect it has on the associated machine, and to determine the best methods for reduc-ing or optimizing its impact. Two recent product/service introduc-tions offer ways to achieve this at both ends of the good/bad vibra-tional spectrum.

Emerson Process Management has in-troduced the CSI 2125-IS Machinery Health Analyzer, an intrinsically safe vi-bration analyzer. The CSI 2125-IS, certi-fied for use in intrin-sically safe IECEx and ATEX Zone 0 and Zone 1 haz-ardous areas, ex-pands Emerson’s route-based machinery analyzer portfolio.

According to the company, the CSI 2125-IS delivers similar route vibra-tion analysis capabilities that users already expect from Emerson’s CSI 2130 Machinery Health Analyzer. The CSI 2125-IS also includes Emerson’s patented PeakVue technology, providing early indication of bearing and gearbox wear. It is the first intrinsically safe vibra-tion analyzer with PeakVue analysis capabilities.

Users of the CSI 2125-IS can customize alarm parameters and integrate collected data with Emerson’s AMS Suite asset manage-ment software for deeper analysis and collaboration with other machinery health technologies such as oil and infrared analysis.

The CSI 2125-IS is compact, lightweight, can operate for up to eight continuous hours, and features a touch screen for easy use in the field.
