How to check machine health？Fluke 805 FC Vibration Meter

Introduction

The Fluke 805 FC Vibration Meter is a cutting-edge device designed for frontline mechanical troubleshooting teams. It provides reliable, repeatable, and accurate measurements of overall vibration, bearing health, and machine condition. With its advanced features and robust design, the Fluke 805 FC empowers maintenance professionals to make confident go/no-go decisions, ensuring optimal machine performance and longevity.

Key Features

1. Innovative Sensor Design

The Fluke 805 FC minimizes measurement variations caused by device angle or contact pressure, ensuring consistent data quality across both low (10 Hz to 1,000 Hz) and high (4,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz) frequency ranges.

2. Severity-Scaled Readings

The device features a four-level severity scale (Good, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, Unacceptable) to assess the urgency of vibration and bearing issues, helping technicians prioritize maintenance tasks.

3. Advanced Data Management

Export data via USB or wirelessly through the Fluke Connect mobile app.

Use pre-built Microsoft Excel templates for trending and analysis.

Store up to 3,500 measurements in on-board memory.

4. Crest Factor+ Technology

This proprietary technology ensures reliable bearing condition assessment by analyzing high-frequency vibrations (4,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz) directly from the sensor tip.

5. User-Friendly Design

Colored lighting system (green/red) and on-screen prompts guide proper measurement pressure.

Built-in flashlight for visibility in dark areas.

Large, high-resolution screen for easy navigation.

6. Infrared Thermometer

The integrated Spot IR Sensor measures temperature from -20 °C to 200 °C (-4 °F to 392 °F) with an accuracy of ±2 °C, enhancing diagnostic capabilities.

7. Optional External Accelerometer

For hard-to-reach locations, the Fluke 805 FC supports an external sensor with a frequency range of 10 Hz to 1,000 Hz.
