Vibration + Temperature Sensor

The sensor that goes on the bearing housing. It samples vibration on three axes, temperature, and shaft speed, does the feature extraction on board, and keeps the raw waveform for 48 hours.

TrackBeat wireless vibration sensor, a sealed cylinder with a knurled battery cap and a stainless magnetic base.

Three senses, one puck

Triaxial vibration, temperature, and a magnetometer for shaft speed. A diagnosis has more than one channel to stand on.

The math stays on the sensor

FFT band energies, velocity RMS, and the bearing frequencies are extracted in the puck. The radio carries a small feature packet, not a continuous waveform.

The waveform is still there

48 hours of raw waveform stay on the device and can be pulled when a reading needs a second look.

One machine reads them all.

Every reading, shown here. The numbers are its own.

How it goes on a machine

Four moves. The machine stays running.

  1. Mount it outside Magnetic or stud, on the bearing housing. The machine stays running. No line shutdown, no wiring into the controls.
  2. It learns the cadence A burst every 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Set that to how fast the machine can surprise you.
  3. It talks to the receiver Licence-free sub-GHz, 902–928 MHz. The receiver is the only box that opens a path off the site.
  4. The platform names the fault Bearing frequencies, imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and the rest of the coverage list. Two modes we do not claim yet stay marked as gaps.
