Handheld Machine-Monitoring Sensors

Measure Velocity,
Acceleration, and
Temperature

Sensor Shown with App

Monitor the health of pumps, engines, and other rotating equipment from your wireless device. These battery-powered sensors measure velocity, acceleration, and temperature to help identify potential problems related to balance, alignment, and lubrication. Good for daily maintenance checks, they're battery powered and magnetic, so you can stick them on a machine, take a reading, and move to the next machine. They send readings using Bluetooth, which you can review in the field or offsite.

Install the app on your device and create profiles for multiple pieces of equipment—once created, you won’t have to enter information each time you want to do a maintenance check. Based on your machine profiles, the app will set default alarm thresholds. It will also recommend courses of action.

Sensors and replacement chargers cannot be sold to certain regions due to local energy efficiency regulations.

Vibration-Monitoring Kits

Keep machinery running smoothly by monitoring its health and status from your computer. Often used with electric motors, pumps, and lathes, these kits measure changes in vibration and temperature—identifying equipment problems and potential failures before they occur. Plug in the sensor, set your thresholds, and view data directly on your screen. You’ll also receive email notifications when vibrations move beyond your specified range, making them good for preventative maintenance. These sensors are 20 times faster than our other vibration monitors, and they don’t require devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to operate.

Sensors mount directly to your equipment. Use the magnetic base for quick installation, or use the threaded hole for a more permanent setup. Once the sensor is hooked up, you can either wire it directly to the receiver or connect it to the wireless transmitter to view data remotely.

Kits with a USB connection link only to your computer for direct and easy monitoring.

Kits with an Ethernet connection can be configured to a wider network, transmit data over longer runs of cable, and integrate into other automated systems, such as a PLC.

Vibration-Monitoring Switches

Two easy-to-set dials allow you to adjust a set activation point for vibration as well as a time delay to avoid false triggering from start-up vibration. An alarm signals if the set activation point is exceeded. Plug the included cable into your data collector or programmable logic controller. IP67 rated for protection from dust and temporary submersion.

Use an optional magnetic base for temporary mounting or a glue-on base for more permanent mounting.

Vibration-Monitoring Switches with Digital Display

A built-in display makes it easy to view vibration levels, warnings, and the status of these switches. Use the push-buttons to set and adjust activation points for vibration as well as a start delay to avoid false triggering from start-up vibration. Memory storage captures readings at regular intervals, which lets you analyze your process. These switches have a 5-pole M12 plug that connects to cables with a socket (sold separately), so you can quickly connect and disconnect them. They are IP67 rated for protection from dust and brief submersion. Switches meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards. They also meet ISO standards for vibration monitoring.

Use Nano M8/USB adapter cords to connect these switches to your computer.

Use a magnetic base for temporary mounting or a glue-on base for more permanent mounting.
