Vibration sensors for industrial motors

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.

Fault map

Where it starts and how it looks

Most motor failures begin in one of these four places, and each leaves a distinct signature in the vibration signal.

Bearings

Defects in races and rolling elements: characteristic frequencies in the FFT.

Imbalance

Uneven mass or dirt on the rotor: peak at the running speed.

Misalignment

Shafts poorly aligned with the coupled equipment: 2× and 3× harmonics.

Looseness

Loose fixings or mechanical play: multiple harmonics and more noise.

What we measure

The motor's vital signs

Three measurements that together give a reliable picture of the motor's condition and how it evolves.

RMS

Overall vibration

The overall vibration value (RMS) shows the general trend: if it rises steadily, something is changing.

FFT

Frequency spectrum

Frequency analysis (FFT) separates vibration by frequency and lets us attribute the problem to bearings, imbalance or misalignment.

°C

Temperature

Housing temperature accompanies vibration: together they give a more reliable picture of the motor's condition.

Timeline

How a fault develops

From the first deviation to a planned intervention. Illustrative example of a bearing fault:

Day −21

First deviation

The vibration trend starts to rise above normal.

Day −10

Clear pattern

The FFT shows the bearing signature. The failure mode is confirmed.

Day −2

Critical threshold

Severity crosses the threshold. We alert you with a concrete recommendation.

Day 0

Planned intervention

You change the bearing in a scheduled stop, not in an emergency.

From the motor to your phone

How the alert reaches you

01 Sensor

Measures

Vibration, FFT and temperature, right on the motor.

02 Cloud

Analyses

Trend and spectrum continuously, against the motor's thresholds.

03 Alert

Warns

"Motor A-7: bearings recommended within ~2 weeks."

Installation

Attach it and it starts measuring

[ Wireless ]

No cabling, no building work

The sensor attaches to the motor housing. No electrician and no changes to your installation.

[ No downtime ]

Without stopping the line

Installation happens with the motor running or in a brief stop, without interrupting production.

[ Any motor ]

Brand and power

Works with any electric motor, whatever its brand and power rating.

FAQ

About sensors for motors

Does the sensor detect bearing faults?

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.

Which motors does it work with?

Any brand and power rating. It's a wireless sensor that attaches to the motor housing, so it doesn't change your electrical installation.

What does it measure?

Vibration (overall RMS), its frequency spectrum (FFT) and temperature, continuously, to track how the motor's condition evolves.

Do you have to stop the motor to install it?

No. The sensor is wireless and attaches to the motor without stopping the line and without an electrician.

How much warning do you get?

It depends on the failure mode, but the goal is to warn days or weeks ahead so you can plan maintenance without emergencies.
