Industrial IoT Wireless Smart Vibration Sensor Gen4

Catch Machine Failure While It’s Still a Whisper

A battery-powered, IP67 vibration sensor that reads 3-axis vibration and temperature, runs machine learning on the edge, and streams it all over a self-healing wireless mesh, so you can act on a failing bearing weeks before it takes the line down.

Setup

From Mount to Vibration Data in Minutes

No software to install and no cloud account to create. Mount the sensor to the machine, power it on, and start streaming 3-axis vibration over your own self-healing wireless mesh.

01

Mount to the Machine

Attach the IP67 sensor directly to a motor, pump, or gearbox, with a magnetic mount for a quick survey, or the ¼”-28 UNF thread for a permanent stud.

02

Power On

The hybrid D-cell and supercapacitor power source runs for years with no wiring to pull. Battery level reports with every transmission, so you always know power is healthy.

03

Join the Wireless Mesh

The sensor joins a self-healing wireless mesh network, with up to 2-mile line-of-sight range, relaying through repeaters to blanket coverage across the plant.

04

Monitor & Act

Watch RMS velocity, peak acceleration, and temperature trend in your Atrium dashboard, and let threshold alerts open a work order the moment a signature climbs.

Mount it, power it on, and monitor. That’s the entire setup, start to finish.

Sensor Capabilities

Built to Hear Trouble Before You Can

Industrial-grade condition monitoring, delivered wirelessly and reliably.

High-Resolution 3-Axis Vibration

A 3-axis accelerometer sampling up to 25.6 kHz at ±16g captures both time-domain waveforms and overall vibration, with on-board FFT resolving the frequency detail that separates imbalance from early bearing wear.

Built-in Machine Learning

Edge intelligence runs on the sensor, with motion-detect wake, on-board learning, and asset-runtime reporting, so you learn not just how a machine vibrates, but how long it actually runs.

Always-Listening Mode

The sensor samples continuously and wakes the instant vibration crosses a set threshold, capturing the event and sending it on. Machines that cycle on and off, like compressors, stay covered even when they run at odd hours.

Long-Life Hybrid Battery

A hybrid D-cell and supercapacitor power source delivers up to 5 years of life, with battery level reported on every transmission so you can plan replacements.

Sealed IP67 Enclosure

A fully sealed IP67-rated enclosure stands up to dust, washdown, and moisture on the plant floor, with magnetic and ¼”-28 UNF stud mounting to fit any machine.

Long-Range Sub-GHz Radio

Sub-gigahertz radio on the 868 / 900 MHz bands travels farther and penetrates walls and machinery far better than higher-frequency Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so the sensor keeps reporting from deep inside the plant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Industrial IoT Wireless Smart Vibration Sensor Gen4.

Vibration & Measurement

It measures 3-axis vibration with both time-domain and overall vibration readings, plus temperature. A 3-axis accelerometer samples at up to 25.6 kHz across a ±16g full-scale range, with on-board FFT for frequency-domain analysis, and a built-in temperature sensor reads to ±1 °C.

The accelerometer samples at up to 25.6 kHz. A high sample rate captures the higher-frequency content where early bearing and gear faults first appear, so you can separate imbalance from bearing wear rather than just seeing an overall vibration number rise.

Yes. The sensor includes built-in machine learning and is always listening with motion-detect wake, and it reports asset runtime, so you learn not just how a machine vibrates, but how long it actually runs between idle periods.

Yes. Alongside vibration it reports temperature to ±1 °C accuracy, giving you correlated vibration and temperature signals from a single sensor.

Wireless & Power

Up to 2 miles line-of-sight on the 900 MHz band, or roughly 1000 ft in dense-urban conditions. Because it uses a self-healing wireless mesh network, data also relays through repeaters to extend coverage across larger or obstructed plants.

The hybrid D-cell-plus-supercapacitor power source delivers up to 5 years of battery life, depending on how often the sensor transmits. Battery level is reported with every transmission so you can plan replacements.

It uses a self-healing wireless mesh on your choice of 868 MHz, 900 MHz, or 2.4 GHz, with 128-bit AES encryption on the wireless link. The 868 and 900 MHz options are sub-GHz (sub-gigahertz) bands, and sub-gigahertz radio travels farther and punches through walls and machinery far better than higher-frequency Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so the sensor keeps reporting from deep inside the plant. The mesh forms and repairs itself, relaying data around obstacles to your gateway.

Mounting & Environment

Two ways: a magnetic mount for fast, tool-free placement during a survey, or a ¼”-28 UNF threaded stud for a permanent, repeatable installation. For the best high-frequency data, mount as close to the bearing housing as practical.

Yes. The sensor is sealed in an IP67-rated enclosure measuring 85 mm tall by 48 mm at the base and weighing 225 g. Its electronics carry a -40 °C to 85 °C component rating; NCD tests the assembled unit across 0 °C to 40 °C.

Platform, Build & Support

No. The sensor is a one-time purchase with no subscription or recurring cloud fee. Paired with an Atrium Gateway, you get dashboards, alerts, and reporting with no per-machine software charge. You own the hardware and the data it produces.

Wherever you choose. Data stays on your network with no required NCD cloud account. Through Atrium’s built-in Node-RED you can forward readings to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, any MQTT broker, a local Modbus network, or your own REST API.

Yes. The sensor is made in the USA by National Control Devices and is RoHS compliant. Many NCD products carry a 5-year warranty, and you’ll always reach a U.S.-based engineer for support. Contact NCD to confirm coverage for your configuration.
