FEATURES: Connect to the ObserVR1000 dynamic signal analyzer and data acquisition (DAQ) device - Set up inputs and record & monitor data - Live FFT Analysis - Use your mobile device's camera to record video in sync with your ObserVR1000 and/or GoPro® camera(s) Remotely control vibration tests running in the VibrationVIEW software - Start/stop tests - View graphs - Adjust amplitude and frequency VR Library - Complete courses, take quizzes and earn certificates on VR University - Browse articles, case studies, engineering tools, research papers, and more - Watch video tips and tech talks - Gain access to VR product manuals Max acceleration calculator - Calculate the maximum acceleration a shaker can output based on system mass Unit converter - Convert acceleration, force, mass, velocity, displacement, and more Sine calculator - Calculate acceleration, frequency, velocity, and displacement based on sinusoidal motion Shock calculator - Select the impact type (plastic or elastic) and the pulse type, and the shock calculator will calculate the remaining two values given two inputs: acceleration, impact time, velocity change, and height change Noise meter - Measure the minimum, current, and maximum decibels (dB) from your mobile device's microphone Accelerometer - Measure the minimum, current, and maximum acceleration in each of your mobile device's accelerometer axes - Zero-out acceleration to calibrate for an uneven surface Strobe light - Strobe your device's screen and/or flash LED from 1 to 30 Hz; strobing helps display objects vibrating too fast for the eye to see VR products - View VR's vibration test controllers and dynamic signal analyzers - Watch YouTube videos from VR - Visit VR's website - Browse VR's LinkedIn page
Balancer Adash
This application assists with basic rotor balancing, allowing for in-situ balancing using a single-channel vibration meter or even a smartphone's built-in accelerometer. It serves as an emergency option for balancing fans, impellers, and other rotating equipment to ensure reliable operation.
- In-situ rotor balancing
- Single-channel vibration meter support
- Smartphone accelerometer utilization
- Emergency balancing option
- Balancing fans and impellers

Basic rotor balancing so called in-situ balancing can be performed even with simple, single channel vibration meter. It is very easy with Adash Balancer. Get a vibration meter (such as A4900 Vibrio from Adash) and get down to work with this App! Additional app possibility is to do balancing without vibration meter. Now you really don’t need any vibration meter. Your smart phone has simple acceleration sensor already and we are using them for taking the readings during balancing job. Please take this app as an emergency option for balancing. The mathematics behind it is unquestionable, but to do balancing with the smartphone is far far away from precision which you can get while balancing with Adash vibration analyzers such as VA3Pro or VA5Pro. Balanced rotor, fan, impeller etc. on rotating equipment is very important for reliable factory operation. Balancing is important part of machine condition monitoring and predictive maintenance based on vibration analysis.
