Almost every motor failure leaves a trace in its vibration long before it stops. We place a wireless sensor at the right point on the housing and read that trace 24/7: we catch bearings, imbalance and misalignment days or weeks ahead, before they turn into a breakdown.
Most motor failures begin in one of these four places, and each leaves a distinct signature in the vibration signal.
Defects in races and rolling elements: characteristic frequencies in the FFT.
Uneven mass or dirt on the rotor: peak at the running speed.
Shafts poorly aligned with the coupled equipment: 2× and 3× harmonics.
Loose fixings or mechanical play: multiple harmonics and more noise.
Three measurements that together give a reliable picture of the motor's condition and how it evolves.
The overall vibration value (RMS) shows the general trend: if it rises steadily, something is changing.
Frequency analysis (FFT) separates vibration by frequency and lets us attribute the problem to bearings, imbalance or misalignment.
Housing temperature accompanies vibration: together they give a more reliable picture of the motor's condition.
From the first deviation to a planned intervention. Illustrative example of a bearing fault:
The vibration trend starts to rise above normal.
The FFT shows the bearing signature. The failure mode is confirmed.
Severity crosses the threshold. We alert you with a concrete recommendation.
You change the bearing in a scheduled stop, not in an emergency.
Vibration, FFT and temperature, right on the motor.
Trend and spectrum continuously, against the motor's thresholds.
"Motor A-7: bearings recommended within ~2 weeks."
The sensor attaches to the motor housing. No electrician and no changes to your installation.
Installation happens with the motor running or in a brief stop, without interrupting production.
Works with any electric motor, whatever its brand and power rating.
Yes. Bearing defects show up as characteristic frequencies in the vibration spectrum (FFT). By monitoring those bands continuously, the system detects wear early, before the bearing fails.
Any brand and power rating. It's a wireless sensor that attaches to the motor housing, so it doesn't change your electrical installation.
Vibration (overall RMS), its frequency spectrum (FFT) and temperature, continuously, to track how the motor's condition evolves.
No. The sensor is wireless and attaches to the motor without stopping the line and without an electrician.
It depends on the failure mode, but the goal is to warn days or weeks ahead so you can plan maintenance without emergencies.
