How to Choose the Right Vibration Monitoring Device

Every rotating asset in your plant is talking. The question is whether you're listening. A vibration monitoring device translates the mechanical signals from motors, pumps, and gearboxes into data that reveals developing faults, which account for 42% of manufacturing downtime, before they cause unplanned shutdowns. This guide covers how these devices work, the different types available, and what to look for when selecting one that fits your operation. What is a vibration monitoring device A
