Accelerometer Calibration

Image

DJB Instruments has a purpose built in-house calibration and measurement facility providing calibrations to traceable National Standards. We calibrate both charge and IEPE accelerometers as well as signal conditioning equipment for all manufacturers and recommend you do this annually, although many of our customers prefer every 6 months. Our standard calibration service includes a sweep from 10Hz to 10kHz (or upper limit of accelerometer if less than 10kHz) at controlled ambient conditions, we also include a cross axis check (this is rarely checked by other labs) We can also offer calibration in more extreme environments; extended sweeps from 2Hz to 15kHz, high temperature and high pressure

Accelerometers can last for decades if treated properly, however regular calibration is important, things can change with age. This is your opportunity to check the accelerometer for correct operation and to ensure it has suffered no damage in its day to day handling and use. Critical points to check are "cross axis error" which should be less than 5%. This is not always checked by other calibration facilities and is the biggest source of error in older accelerometers. Other points to consider at calibration are temperature and frequency range. Ensure the calibration results reflect the operating range of your application, if in doubt ask our engineers to explain the details regarding calibration. 

Our calibration service is usually between 1 to 3 days. Please contact us for a quotation and a turnaround time.

We offer a bespoke cable assembly service offering a vast range of cables from just 0.8mm diameter, including low noise and armoured solutions whilst offering a wide range of connectors made both in-house and off the shelf. This together with excellent relationships with cable manufacturers means we can be very supportive of special requests.

Accelerometer trade-in scheme 

Discounts are available when you trade any accelerometer against a new DJB model.  A great way to reinstate older, tired accelerometers with new ones in tip-top condition.

Free cable inspection

Send up to 20 cables for us to inspect free of charge. We will supply a report detailing the health of your cables for you to assess your options

Cable repair service

Save money and be green to boot by utilising your existing cables. We can make good of most manufacturers and with the free cable inspection prior to commencing you will be kept up to speed right throughout the process.

Are you happy your current cables are aiding your work without ultimately affecting the data? With a free inspection service, you can be sure of peak performance.

VC-01 Handheld Calibrator

If you would like the option to test subjects yourself periodically why not invest in a VC-01 Handheld Calibrator.

This is the perfect tool for calibrating accelerometers should you drop them or after a long period of storage when you don't want to send them for a full calibration.

We are proud to lead the way with its green approach to cable recycling. Over time users often accumulate boxes of broken cables, but are driven to buy new ones by other suppliers in the marketplace who refuse to repair cables.

As a majority of connectors used are standardised (10-32UNF microdot, BNC for example), DJB is able to offer a test and repair service for almost any cable from any supplier.

A majority of cable failures occur due to damage or wear to one of the connectors, by removing and refitting a new connector the cable is as good as new at a fraction of the cost and with hardly any reduction in the usable cable length. Did you know that most common signal cables have a jacket and insulator made from some form of PTFE which can be toxic during decomposition? Repairing your cables is kinder to the environment too.

We offer a specialist service all based in-house to ensure your readings remain accurate with a clean bill of health on each cable you use. Don't forget to make use of our free cable inspection scheme. A good way to make an assessment to aid your way forward.

Accelerometer training

Due to the current situation DJB has decided to suspend all its training activities for the foreseeable future.
