RLV-5500 Rotational Laser Vibrometer RLV-5500 Rotational Laser Vibrometer Non-Contact Measurement of Rotational Vibration Product Brochure

Everything Revolves Around Your Application RLV-5500 Rotational Laser Vibrometers are advanced non-contact angular velocity and displacement sensors, perfect for measuring rotating structural dynamics. RLV give access to order analysis data of drivetrains, power generation equipment or aircraft propulsion systems without touching or disassembling components.

The RLV-5500 Rotational Laser Vibrometer incorporates high-performance digital decoding techniques for an improved signal-to-noise-ratio, an expanded RPM range to 20,000 RPM and a compact sensor. The compact design with flexible fiber-optics makes it very easy to get close to the measurement object. For industrial environments, a robust design is combined with an integrated air purge system to cool the sensor head and prevent contamination from oil mist and dust. Taken together, these industrial features enable difficult on-vehicle measurements of an operating drivetrain. The proven RLV-5500...

With the non-contact measurement by light, no inertial mass is added to the rotating structure and no telemetry is required to get highly accurate and reliable data. The optical way avoids time-consuming mounting and ignores ambient vibrations. The compact, rugged optical sensor head and its large stand-off distances from 70 to 600 mm allow a convenient setup also in confined spaces. Designed for Flexibility and Precision The RLV-5500 Rotational Laser Vibrometer consists of the laser-based RLV-500 Sensor Head and the RLV-5000 Controller. The compact sensor design allows an easy and flexible handling...

RLV-500 Sensor Head The RLV-500 Sensor Head is divided into a Laser Unit and a compact sensor. Separating the laser and interferometers from the delivery and receiving optics leads to a compact sensor with flexible mounting and positioning options without sacrificing measurement precision. It is connected to the Laser Unit with an industrialized, steel-sheathed optical fiber that delivers the light from the laser through the optics to the rotating structure and collects the back-scattered light needed for the measurement. Choose from several stand-off distances and beam separations to suit your...

The Polytec RLV-5500 measures rotational vibrations without contact, on arbitrarily shaped structures including engine crankshafts, vehicle axles, marine driveshafts, electrical generator shafts and rotating parts in lithographic machines, printers and photocopiers. Automotive engineers use the rotational vibrometer to develop torsional vibration dampers that reduce engine noise and increase product durability. Faults in gearboxes, compressors and generators cause torsional vibrations at certain system-specific frequencies. ■ Rotational dynamics of drivetrains, gas turbines, electrical generators...

Easy, non-contact measurement on rotating structures, gathering rotational velocity and angular velocity. Angular Velocity [°/s] Angular 1600 Velocity [°/s] 1400 6th order 8th order 10th order 6th order 8th order 10th order Accessories Order tracking analysis of a crankshaft: Results are equivalent to the output from a magnetic encoder but free from added inertial mass. Setup, data acquisition and tear-down were accomplished by the RLV-5500 Rotational Vibrometer in a fraction of the time needed to install the encoder. For industrial environments, a robust design is combined with an integrated...
