"ViProtect will allow us to give our customers advice even faster and more efficiently," says Frank Dahmen, head of sales in the Industry segment at ContiTech Vibration Control. "It recommends products for the suspension of stationary and mobile engines, machines, and almost all devices used in industry."
The app recommends specific bearing elements and shows their technical data. Users can request more information via a contact form. Data on the mass of the system, the number of bearing points, and the excitation frequency are required for analysis. A particular highlight: "If the excitation frequency is unknown, it can even be calculated with the app before design work gets underway," says Dr. Stefan Narberhaus, head of industrial development at ContiTech Vibration Control. It only takes ten seconds for the mobile application to measure the frequency directly on the device. The smartphone is simply placed on the structure to be measured.
The ContiTech app is available from the Apple App Store free of charge. Users will also find detailed operating instructions there. The app runs on the operating system iOS 7.
