Mid-frequency Vibration Sensors Calibration System

The YMC VCS-01 automatically calibrates the sensitivity, linearity, amplitude-frequency characteristic and phase-frequency characteristic of a vibration sensor and forms the corresponding test report.

The YMC VCS-01 automatically calibrates the sensitivity, linearity, amplitude-frequency characteristic and phase-frequency characteristic of a vibration sensor and forms the corresponding test report. YMC states that the system is simple in composition and easy to operate, and that it conforms to ISO 16063-21:2003 “Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers — Part 21: Vibration calibration by comparison to a reference transducer”. It accurately calibrates acceleration, velocity and displacement sensors and vibration meters with voltage, charge, IEPE and other outputs, and supports point-by-point comparison, sinusoidal sweep, random excitation and shock excitation methods of calibration.

• Multi-function vibration analyzer (2 output, 4 input): 500 kHz signal output conversion rate and 1 MHz 4-channel synchronised sampling rate
• Test and calibration software: completes all testing to the set conditions and outputs reports; automatically adjusts internal gain from the measured sensor sensitivity to hold signal/noise ratio and testing accuracy

Measurement chain

• Standard sensor and calibrated sensor mounted back-to-back on the standard exciter
• Charge amplifier
• Vibration controller
• Calibration software
• Power amplifier driving the exciter
