Fluke 805 Vibration Meter
The Fluke 805 Vibration Meter provides severity-scaled readings of overall vibration and bearing health using the proprietary Crest Factor+ algorithm. Built-in IR temperature sensor, 3,500-measurement memory, and USB export support structured frontline maintenance programs.Overview
The Fluke 805 Vibration Meter is a handheld screening instrument built for frontline maintenance teams who need reliable, repeatable vibration and bearing health assessments. Its innovative sensor tip design minimizes measurement variation caused by device angle or contact pressure, delivering consistent data quality at both low (10 to 1,000 Hz) and high (4,000 to 20,000 Hz) frequency ranges. The proprietary Crest Factor+ algorithm removes ambiguity from bearing assessment by taking direct high-frequency measurements, while a four-level severity scale and color-coded pressure indicator provide immediate, actionable guidance.

FAQ
Q: What is Crest Factor+?
A: Crest Factor+ is a Fluke-proprietary algorithm that uses direct sensor tip measurements between 4,000 and 20,000 Hz to reliably assess bearing condition, removing the ambiguity associated with traditional crest factor approaches.
Q: Which machines can the Fluke 805 monitor?
A: The 805 supports chillers, fans, cooling tower drives, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, air compressors, blowers, gearboxes with rolling element bearings, and machine tools including motors, gearboxes, and spindles.
Q: Can I add an external sensor for tight or guarded locations?
A: Yes. The 805 supports an external accelerometer via its SMB connector. The Fluke 805/ES External Vibration Sensor is the recommended companion accessory for guarded or hard-to-reach measurement points.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is overall vibration measurement and why does it matter?
Overall vibration quantifies the total energy and motion across a machine. High overall vibration signals mechanical looseness, misalignment, or imbalance—all warning signs of developing problems that require maintenance attention.
How does the Crest Factor+ algorithm improve bearing health detection?
Crest Factor+ is Fluke's proprietary algorithm that separates bearing impact signatures from background vibration noise. This early-warning capability detects spalling or lubrication breakdown weeks or months before catastrophic failure.
How does a built-in IR temperature sensor help during inspections?
Temperature often correlates with bearing or motor wear. The integrated IR sensor lets you measure bearing housing temperature alongside vibration data, providing a more complete machine health picture.
What is the benefit of 3,500-measurement memory?
Storing 3,500 readings allows you to conduct extended route surveys on a single battery charge, collecting data from dozens of machines without stopping to upload or export data.
Can I export vibration data to a computer?
Yes, USB export sends all stored measurements to your computer, where you can analyze trends, generate reports, and maintain a baseline library for condition-based maintenance programs.
Is the Fluke 805 durable enough for daily fieldwork?
Yes, the rugged handheld design is built for frontline technicians working in production environments, utility plants, manufacturing facilities, and harsh industrial locations.
