Vibration Meters


Meter with Probe (Sold Separately)	LCD Display

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.

Cannot Be Sold To—Import regulations restrict sales to the listed areas.

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.

All of these sensors are IP67 rated to block out dust and water if briefly submerged.

Three-Axis Accelerometer—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.

IP68 Enclosure Rating and IP69K Enclosure Rating—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).

Modules with Accelerometer

An accelerometer measures the rate at which your device is speeding up or slowing down.

Digital Pocket Vibration Meters


	LCD Display

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 wet workspaces.
