Motionics iPad Rotor Balancing Kit turns an iPad into a rotor balancer and vibration analyzer. It is a purely iPad-based kit consisting of an iPad (optional), a 2-channel DAQ box, an industrial accelerometer and a laser tachometer. The kit comes with several apps for vibration analysis, overall vibration testing, and rotor balancing.

The iPad iRotorBalancer app allows single-plane, 2-plane, 4-runs, and overhung balancing to meet different rotor balancing requirements. With just simple tapping and typing, anyone can be an expert in rotor balancing using this package. The iPhone/iPad VibraTestPro App makes the kit a full vibration analyzer with time, domain, and frequency domain analysis. The kit also comes with the iVibraMeter App for iPad which can be used for quick overall vibration tests of multiple common machines such as pumps, motors, spindles, etc. with rapid PDF report generation capability.
