Injector Not Opening? Rotkee Vibration Sensor Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Free Online Training & PicoScope Waveform Library: www.mechanicmindset.com/share/76
The Rotkee VS Vibration Sensor can be screwed on to fuel pipes to check for diesel injector mechanical operation. In this video we connect the Rotkee vibration sensor to the PicoScope 4425A oscilloscope and put it to the test. We look at a good fuel system then install some faults; removing injector 1 and 4 to see how it performs.

We reached out to Rotkee and they sent us some products to test for free. No commission taken.

    Thanks again, Darren for sharing a great video. I ordered one, but have to wait for Rotkee to resend me the nescessory products with an email informed. They responded my mail last Tuesday and said they would deal soon with my issue they first met.

    Not sure, I understand this is an ultrasonic sensor, so might be too sensitive, or not effective. Be better getting some cheap piezo elements and glueing them to croc clips. Or get chassis ears; i love that tool for noises

    I don't work on diesels so it may serve a purpose there....however on a regular gasoline ice engine, this seems gimmicky especially when you're already getting a voltage and current ramp which would provide a more definitive answer compared to the noise this provides.

    Not really a vibration sensor if it doesn't pic up vibration from plastic hoses as well but more like a knocking sensor/microphone that feels the knock/ping in the fuel pressure spike. More like a digital stethoscope for the oscilloscope. Could possible be used to find and time to check engine noise also. Never the less i see this as a useful tool that i want 😁

    Solid plastic it works. I tried on rubber and it wasn’t great (nothing solid to couple to). Vibration is just what they call it but yes I see what you’re saying 👍 Timing to noises sounds like a great use for this sensor! Cheers

    This was my thought as well but I followed through and my order arrived last week. I got the vibration sensor and the pulse pressure sensor. My order total was only 60 dollars (I think) so it was worth the risk for me however it turns out there was no risk.
