Tiny Vibration Recorder
Wireless vibration sensor : Tiny Vibration Recorder
Description
The smallest vibration recorder on the market
The TINY is a 3 axis shock & vibration recorder.
It is extremely practical for a vibration diagnosis, offering at least 6 hours of measurement of the full bandwidth signal.
Once easy configured through its USB port, with the free software Recovib.Suite or with its free dedicated APP, it can quickly wireless be installed.
Its way of working provides substantial time savings in the performance of your measurements.
It is the only type of vibration and shock recorder that allows several sensors to be used simultaneously in a synchronized (1ms) manner enabling the performance of modal analyses and operational deflection shape analyses on large structures such as bridges or walkways.
The RECOVIB Tiny is the smallest (39,6 x 33,4 x 14 mm) and most robust recorder on the market which is able to perform recordings in extreme conditions.
The Recovib.Suite software allows a lot of possibilities managing the recorded values with possible filtering and units (acceleration, displacement, velocity) through several graphs displays.
How does it work ?
In our case, it is a vibration recorder that stores the measured values (so no communication, no wifi, no cable).

Additionnal Informations
Measuring ranges
We offer different measuring ranges: ± 2/6G, ± 15G, ± 200G.
It is able to record 1024 acceleration values (shocks and vibrations) per channel per second.
Fields of applciations
It is a sensor that allows vibration measurements to be made without the need for wiring, which is very tedious for a one-off measure and very costly over long distances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to measure shocks or drop impact with the Tiny?
The Tiny 200g recorder (or, depending on the shock, the 15g also) suits for this kind of application, we already have had several cases like that.
However, you must consider that, due to its bandwidth (0-250Hz), it will not be able to detect the shocks if these ones are shorter than 4ms, else these shocks will be lowered by the low pass filter at 250Hz.
In case of shocks < 4ms, there is another possibility with a wired accelerometer (higher bandwidth) but it’s more complicated to implement (needs of a wired DAQ).
What is the max recording Time?
The maximum recording time is at least 6 hours with a battery full loaded.
This limitation comes indeed from the battery not from the SD memory card.
You have also to consider that once programmed the Tiny will already be consuming battery power, quite the same than when measuring, and so reduce the possible recording time.
Can we extend the recording Time?
-
In some case it is possible to increase the recording time.
That involves the use of a specific version of the Tiny and the addition of another battery in parallel.
This recorder will have also a hardcode record time depending on the recording frequency :
- 48h at 1024Hz sampling frequency and 250Hz bandwidth
- 96h at 512Hz sampling frequency and 125Hz bandwidth
Please note that the download time for a full 48 (or 96) hours can take around 2 hours.
Feel free to contact us for having a proposal.
Can we measure the rotating speed?
By developing the Tiny Gyro we have added a gyroscope to the Tiny.
This sensor will provide the vibration following two axes X and Z and the speed that replace the Y axis.
Both versions (Tiny + Tiny Gyro) use Recovib Tiny in the Recovib Suite software.
Just note that for the Gyro part, the real unit of the data will be in [tr/min] but the unit displayed on the Recovib viewer is in [m/s²]. There is no possibilities at the moment for another graphical axis with another unit.
Feel free to contact us for more details.
Can we increase the bandwidth?
Currently the bandwidth of the Tiny is limited to DC to 250Hz.
However, a new version is under development in our R&D department.
This would propose a bandwidth or DC to 1KHz allowing the sensor to answer to the ISO2954 norm for machines.
Can we use several Tiny together for enabling to make modal shape analysis or operational deformation?
Yes, for doing that you can program different sensors at the same time with the Recovib_Suite free software that will use the clock from the computer.
In that way all the recorders will be synchronized within the same ms.
Can we use the tiny for measurement on bogies in railways applications?
Yes, we have several installations in which Tiny’s are in operation.
The +/-15g and the +/- 200g models are mostly used because they can also measure the shocks.
They can operate under severe conditions and offer the advantage to be able to be quickly installed without wiring.
In that way all the recorders will be synchronized within the same ms.

TINY Vibration Recorder
The TINY Vibration Recorder is connected to a PC via a USB connection. The supplied software allows for time synchronisation with the PC, selection of the measuring range, as well as programming of the measurement interval.
When the sensor is disconnected from the PC and when the preset measurement start time is reached, the TINY Vibration Recorder begins to autonomously measure and store vibration values.
Once the preset stop time is reached, the TINY Vibration Recorder goes into sleep mode until it is reconnected to the PC.
The TINY Vibration Recorder is therefore recognised by the PC as an external storage device. Thanks to the supplied software, the measurements of one or more sensors stored in a compact binary format can be converted to standard formats depending on user preference (text, csv, MATLAB™ , LabVIEW™ formats).
