        Major Tech | Digital Vibration Meter 10Hz to 4kHz | Piezoelectric Shear-Type Accelerometer

        The Major Tech MT965 is a handheld digital vibration meter that measures acceleration, velocity, and displacement on rotating and reciprocating machinery. A shear-type piezoelectric ceramic accelerometer senses vibration across 10Hz to 1kHz, with a selectable 1kHz to 4kHz high-frequency band for acceleration. The MT965 reads acceleration from 0.1 to 199.9m/s², velocity from 0.1 to 199.9mm/s, and displacement from 0.001 to 1.999mm, each rated ±10%. A colour LCD rotates through 360 degrees, presents all three readings simultaneously, and stores 500 data points across five groups for later review.

        Bearing wear, shaft misalignment, and structural looseness all announce themselves as rising vibration long before a machine actually fails. Judging that rise by hand or by ear puts the call on experience alone, and marginal machines slip through until they stop mid-shift. The MT965 puts a number and a colour-coded severity bar against each measurement, graded to the machine power level you set, from small motors below 15kW to large sets above 75kW. Switching between high and low frequency bands separates high-frequency energy from general running vibration on the same machine.

        For a tech doing motor changeovers and pump alignments, a before-and-after reading turns an invoice line into proof the job worked. The rotating display and second measure button on the base keep readings usable when the meter points down into a coupling guard or under a fan housing. Interchangeable short and long probes reach recessed measurement points, and both come off for flat-surface contact on a machine foot. Stored groups hold 100 readings each, so a full plant round survives in the meter until it is written up.

        Features

        • Three vibration parameters — the MT965 measures acceleration to 199.9m/s², velocity to 199.9mm/s, and displacement to 1.999mm, each rated ±10%.
        • Shear-type piezoelectric sensor — an artificially polarised ceramic accelerometer senses vibration through the fitted probe or directly against flat surfaces.
        • Selectable frequency bands — acceleration switches between a 10Hz to 1kHz low band and a 1kHz to 4kHz high band; velocity and displacement read on the low band.
        • Colour-coded severity bar — green, yellow, orange, and red status bars grade vibration velocity against the selected machine class.
        • Four machine power levels — settings cover small machines below 15kW, medium machines from 15-75kW, and large sets above 75kW on hard or soft bases.
        • 360 degree rotating display — the colour LCD turns to stay readable in any orientation, with high and low brightness settings.
        • Dual measurement buttons — a second button on the base starts and pauses readings when the MT965 is pointed downward.
        • Short and long probes — the short probe suits general measurements while the long probe reaches narrow or recessed points; both remove for surface contact.
        • 500-point memory — readings store in five groups of 100, with on-screen charts for acceleration, velocity, and displacement per group.
        • Graph curve display — every measurement mode plots a live curve of the reading for spotting trends as they develop.
        • Simple field upkeep — runs on two AAA batteries with a built-in flashlight, an adjustable 0-9 minute auto shutdown, and an on-board calibration routine.
        • Indoor operating limits — the MT965 is rated for 0°C to 40°C at 30-90% relative humidity and is not protected against water immersion or strong impacts.

        Where to use

        • Motor and pump condition checks — the MT965 grades running vibration on drives, pumps, and fans during routine service rounds.
        • Alignment and balance verification — before-and-after readings confirm that shaft alignment or balancing work has actually lowered vibration.
        • Commissioning new plant — baseline readings on new rotating equipment give later surveys a reference point for condition trending.
        • Reciprocating machinery checks — compressors and similar reciprocating equipment sit inside the intended measurement scope of the MT965.
        • Structural looseness diagnosis — rising velocity and displacement readings point to loose mounts, worn bases, and fatigued fixings.
        • Maintenance documentation — stored groups of readings back up condition reports and justify repair recommendations to clients.

        The MT965 operates within 0°C to 40°C at 30-90% relative humidity and must not be immersed in water or exposed to strong impacts. Keep the meter away from dangerous voltage, flammable atmospheres, and anything that could catch on rotating equipment during a reading. No ingress protection rating is published, so treat the meter as a dry-conditions instrument only.

        (MT965)

        Acceleration from 0.1 to 199.9m/s², velocity from 0.1 to 199.9mm/s, and displacement from 0.001 to 1.999mm, each with ±10% accuracy. A shear-type piezoelectric ceramic accelerometer does the sensing, and the colour display shows all three readings simultaneously with a live graph curve.

        Acceleration measurement switches between a low band of 10Hz to 1kHz and a high band of 1kHz to 4kHz, selected with the frequency button. Velocity and displacement always measure on the low band. If an acceleration value will not read, the manual suggests switching bands.

        A status bar across the bottom of the full display grades vibration velocity as green, yellow, orange, or red. The grading follows the machine power level set in the menu: small below 15kW, medium 15-75kW, or large above 75kW on a hard or soft base.

        The short probe suits most general vibration measurements and gives improved response values. The long probe, included in the package, reaches narrow or recessed points with faster response. Removing the probe entirely lets the MT965 sit flat against a surface for the most stable readings.

        Up to 500 data points in five groups of 100, with a 20-point live cache during measurement. Stored groups replay as acceleration, velocity, and displacement charts on the meter, and groups can be deleted singly or all at once from the File menu.

        Two 1.5V AAA batteries in a battery compartment. An automatic shutdown timer is adjustable from 0 to 9 minutes to save power, the meter shuts itself down on low battery, and the manual recommends removing the batteries during long storage periods.

        The MT965 carries a 2 year warranty for both domestic and commercial use, starting from the invoice date. Lodge a claim by returning the unit to Sparky Direct with proof of purchase and a fault description; it is then forwarded to Major Tech's authorised service centre for assessment. Allow 7 to 14 working days.

        The Major Tech MT965 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
