Since 2023, NVMS has been the channel partner in Australia and New Zealand for Dytran, now part of HBK.Dytran, located in California, has manufactured sensors and accelerometers for over 43 years.
To develop, improve, certify, or troubleshoot a product, physical testing is required either on a test bench or in the field. Usually, the more complex or larger the product, the more measurements are required.
Over the last 25 years, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become more powerful, accessible, and affordable. But the need for physical vibration testing has remained, for correlation, verification, package testing or final acceptance.
Fundamentally, any rotating shaft has the function of transferring power, i.e. the product of the rotational speed by the transferred torque.
As decarbonisation of society slowly takes place, so does electrification of various equipment. On fixed plants for example, small steam turbines driving pumps or fans are regularly replaced by motors. In the automotive industry, the transition is faster with the number of hybrid and electric vehicles now rapidly increasing.
In a market with a lot of options, HBK (formerly Bruel and Kjaer) acoustic cameras are a beacon of precision and efficiency.
Many players in the space industry in Australia and New Zealand rely on HBK LDS vibration test systems, often called “shakers”. These shakers rely on accelerometers to measure induced vibrations and provide feedback to the controller.
Load cells are crucial for precise weight measurement in all industrial and commercial applications. They are the single most critical component in any weighing system be it stand-alone or integrated into a production line, or any continuous processing infrastructure across every industry.
The de-carbonization of some sectors of the Australian society and economy continues. So does the electrification of various products, including cars, energy storage, buses, some kitchen stoves, the first boats, etc. Many of these products require batteries.
Space-related activities are accelerating in New Zealand, Queensland, South Australia and within many Australian universities such as ANU, UNSW and more.
The HBK 2255 Sound Level Meter with Building Acoustics Partner is designed specifically for building acoustics measurements. Lightweight and robust, HBK 2255 and its accessories are ideally suited for use on real-world building sites, where dust and debris are more commonplace than functioning elevators.
Often known for their shakers, data acquisition systems (DAQ) and acoustic solutions, HBK also designs and manufactures a wide variety of sensors and transducers. They measure strain, force, load, torque, displacement, acceleration, current, voltage, sound, noise, pressure and more.
The scientific, technical, and economic activity around Space, Aerospace, and Defence is on the increase in both Australia and New Zealand and is driven by various factors.

NVMS has enhanced its sound level meter calibration capability with the introduction of the HBK Type 3630-A. This advanced, automated system improves accuracy, repeatability, and turnaround times while ensuring strict standards compliance. The result is greater measurement confidence, robust traceable documentation, and stronger support for regulatory, workplace, and environmental compliance requirements.
NVMS’s highly-regarded Noise Assessor Course is coming to Brisbane next week, and with a couple of places still available it’s not too late to register. We’re also seeking expressions of interest to bring the course to Melbourne in 2025.
