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.

Get NEMA 4 and IP66 protection from dirt and water. Switch is rated for hazardous locations for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups C and D; and Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G. If vibration or shock exceeds a set activation point, the contacts actuate to either shut down your machine or activate an alarm. Reset the switch with the push of a button. The activation point is adjustable between 0 to 5 gravity units (g) at 0 to 60 Hz.

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.

Set includes one meter for low-speed vibration and one meter for higher speed vibration. A flexible steel wire reed detects vibration while the scale on the side of the meter indicates the machine vibration in cycles per minute (cpm). A simple calculation determines motor speed in rpm for engines with multiple cycles.

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.

Monitor the health of pumps, engines, and other rotating equipment from your wireless device. These battery-powered sensors measure speed, 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.

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.

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.

Listen to machine performance to detect mechanical problems and leaks.

Stethoscopes with a funnel probe are good for detecting noise from vacuum, air, and exhaust leaks.

Stethoscopes with a magnetic probe attachment can be used hands-free.

Isolate individual sounds during inspections. These stethoscopes amplify internal sounds so they’re loud enough to hear, while the included set of headphones filters out background noise for clarity. They’re often used to detect mechanical problems and leaks. Reach the included probe into the area you’re inspecting for precise listening. All include either multiple probes or a probe extension for hard-to-reach areas.

Dial display stethoscopes are commonly used in vehicles to help identify issues such as worn bearings, broken gear teeth, and wind and air leaks. Set their sensitivity to match your environment using the high/low switch. High sensitivity will better detect quiet sounds but might be too reactive in loud environments. Low sensitivity is a better choice for noisy environments, since loud sounds can damage your hearing when further amplified.

Digital display stethoscopes are an upgrade from those with a dial display. Designed for sophisticated machinery, they’re often used to inspect precision bearings. A user-friendly screen makes it easy to operate these stethoscopes with no special training. Volume levels are displayed both in digits and graphs so you can accurately compare across multiple measurements. An output jack lets you connect a recording device to document sounds, so you can play back noises to track progress and confirm issues are resolved. They come with recorded example noises to teach you the sounds of both functioning parts and specific problems—a damaged outer ring, for example—so you can pinpoint issues before opening your equipment.

Attach microphones to different spots on running machines or vehicles to amplify squeaks, knocking, and rattling from worn parts. To help you isolate sounds, these stethoscopes come with headphones that reduce background noise.

Stethoscopes with a dial control connect to six microphone clamps with color-coded wire leads. Turn the dial to listen to each one in turn, so you can pinpoint the source of a sound.

Stethoscopes with a touch screen control let you select and mute each microphone on a bright LCD screen. They include both color-coded wireless transmitters and microphone clamps—you can mount them separately to listen in on hard-to-reach spots.
