In the era of electrification, many new challenges arise, such as the noise impacts of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). BESS noise levels often consist of a significant amount of low-frequency noise (500Hz or less) with tonal components. Due to these factors, the environmental assessment of BESS would be more reflective of real-world conditions when undertaken using 1/3 octave band analysis.
The landscape of automotive testing is evolving, driven by the need for more accurate, efficient, and comprehensive evaluation methods. HBK (Hottinger Brüel & Kjær) have been leaders in this field for decades, offering integrated solutions that bridge the gap between virtual simulations and real-world testing.
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, precise motion sensing is crucial for various applications, from industrial machinery and consumer electronics, to drones, aerospace, and defence . The concept of Six Degrees of Freedom (6DOF) sensors is a cornerstone in this field, providing comprehensive motion tracking by measuring translational and rotational movements across three perpendicular axes.
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.
You already know why users love the HBK QuantumX Data Acquisition System and its ruggedised cousin; the SomatXR?
Monitoring complex gearboxes can be quite a challenge, especially for multi-stage planetary gearbox setups. A lot of noise occurs within your data due to the many gear meshes, which makes it hard to identify bearing and gear faults accurately and when data is only taken on a routine basis, these faults can easily be missed.
Instrumentation is arguably a discipline where the diversity of physical phenomena is used to deliver optimal engineering solutions. Many sensors are electrical by design: strain gauges, piezo-electric accelerometers, piezo-resistive sensors, etc.
In practical terms, TEDS allow you to plug your sensor in a data acquisition system (SomatXR, QuantumX, LAN-XI, PMX, ClipX, etc.) and to start your test and measurement tasks immediately.
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.
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.
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.
