Vibration Meters
In addition to vibration, these meters measure acceleration, frequency, speed, displacement, and temperature. Use them to gauge the health of your bearings and machines. Onscreen analytics allow you to instantly check the condition of your equipment. These meters store up to 3,500 readings in memory, and you can transfer them to your computer with a USB cord (not included) to track trends.
Import regulations restrict sales to the listed areas.
Add a probe to take measurements in hard-to-access areas. It has a magnetic base you can mount to a machine to get constant readings.

Digital Pocket Vibration Meters
Keep these meters on hand to quickly check the health of your machine and bearings. They digitally measure acceleration, frequency, and speed to help you identify potential problems, such as bearings that are off balance or misaligned. These meters have two different bases for taking readings. The magnetic base is useful for hands-free readings on magnetic surfaces. For nonmagnetic surfaces, use the pin tip and gently hold the meter against the vibrating surface. Rated IP65, these meters will continue to measure in dusty and damp workspaces.
| Measures | Acceleration Range, g | Frequency Range, Hz | Speed Range, in./sec. | Accuracy | Probe Lg. | Batteries Included | Container Type | Environmental Rating | Includes | Each | |
| Acceleration, Frequency, Speed | 0.5-20.39 | 10-1,000 | 0.02-7.87 | +/- 5% | 1 3/16" | Yes | Pouch | IP65 | Magnetic Base, Pin Tip | 0000000 | 0000000 |
Vibration Meters with Stethoscopes
In addition to measuring vibration, you can listen to and record machine performance. The magnetic base allows you to mount the probe on a machine for constant readings.
| Measures | Vibration Range, cpm | Acceleration Range, g | Frequency Range, Hz | Speed Range, in./sec. | Accuracy | Temp. Range, °F | Probe Lg. | Batteries Included | Container Type | Each | |
| Vibration, Acceleration, Frequency, Speed | 600-600,000 | 0.01-19.99 | 10-10,000 | 0.01-19.99 | ±2% | -10° to 120° | 4 1/2" | Yes | Case | 000000 | 000000000 |
Acceleration Sensors
Gauge your machine’s health with more precision than vibration monitors. These sensors measure acceleration, vibration, and frequency. Mount them to motors, fans, and gearboxes. Made entirely of stainless steel, they stand up to prolonged exposure to water and mild chemicals. These sensors use the IEPE communication protocol, so you can connect them to a vibration controller or edge device.
Three-axis sensors pick up motion in three directions—up and down, side to side, and back and forth—for a more comprehensive assessment than single-axis sensors.
All of these sensors are IP67 rated to block out dust and water if briefly submerged. IP68 and IP69K rated sensors also stand up to spraying water during high-pressure washdowns.

Motion-Measuring Modules for Development Boards
Measure your device's acceleration, rotation, or orientation. These modules gather data over time and track movement, which can help improve performance, debug issues, and calibrate your components. Solder them onto a development board. To connect them to your device, solder on a wire or header. For a solderless connection, use a Qwiic cord (not included).
An accelerometer measures the rate at which your device is speeding up or slowing down. A gyroscope measures how fast your device is rotating. A magnetometer measures your device's orientation.
