SKF Microlog Analyzer AX series

CMXA 80
Advanced data collector / FFT analyzer

The SKF Microlog Analyzer AX is the most advanced large screen

route based analyzer offered by SKF today. The SKF Microlog AX’s
features allow you to capture a wide range of vibration data quickly.
The analyzer provides the flexibility to support applications that
are most important to your company’s specific predictive mainte-
nance program. Developed for use in a wide range of industries, the
SKF Microlog AX series is approved for use in hazardous environ-
ments requiring ATEX, IECEx and Class I Division 2 certifications.

Key features
• Simultaneous triaxial or four channel measurements for fast data
collection
• Marvell 806 MHz PXA320 processor means faster real time rate
and display updates
• Rugged, dust / waterproof IP 65 design for reliability in industrial
environments
• Rechargeable lithium battery supports eight hours of continuous
data collection
• Large 6.4 in. VGA color display for easy viewing and analysis in SKF Microlog AX is a full-featured, four channel, high performance route
any light and non-route portable data collector/FFT analyzer.
