QM30VT3 High-Resolution 3-Axis Vibration Monitoring Prevents Costly Downtime

QM30VT3 High-Performance 3-Axis Vibration Sensor

 
Smarter, Easier, More Complete: Onboard VIBE-IQ, 3-Axis Coverage, Wired or Wireless

The QM30VT3 High-Performance 3-Axis Vibration Sensor with onboard VIBE-IQ machine learning shifts maintenance from reactive to predictive, empowering maintenance teams at all experience levels to detect machine failures before they cause downtime.

 

VIBE-IQ automatically analyzes vibration data across all three axes, establishes baselines, and sets automated alerts—turning complex monitoring into actionable insights anyone can access. For specialized applications, advanced users can access the time waveform and FFT datasets, as well as tools like High-Frequency Enveloping (HFE) and adjustable Frequency Maximum (FMax) to perform precise diagnostics of complex issues. Compact, durable, and Modbus-compatible, the QM30VT3 integrates seamlessly to keep equipment running longer and operations running smoothly from day one.

 

 

  • 3-Axis Sensing: Capture a complete picture of machine health—with the flexibility to mount on any axis without sacrificing accuracy
  • VIBE-IQ: Built-in machine learning detects vibration baselines and generates warning and alarm thresholds so anyone can monitor assets—no gateway or expertise required
  • Wide Frequency Range: Detect more faults, from shaft misalignment in conveyor motors to gear mesh impacts in high-speed gearboxes
  • Higher Sample Rates: Capture short-duration, high-frequency vibration events to improve early fault detection across a wide range of assets
  • Frequency Max (Fmax): Balance frequency range and resolution to zoom in on low-frequency faults like pulley drive misalignment or monitor the full range at default resolution
  • High-Frequency Enveloping (HFE): Also known as demodulation mode, it detects early-stage low-amplitude, high-frequency faults like bearing and race wear, which are often masked by dominant low-frequency vibrations 

 

HIGH-SPEED SAMPLING

Prevent Downtime in Slow-Rotating Assets

Capture detailed low-frequency vibration data and short-duration impact events—like early-stage bearing faults—from slow rotating assets using a high-speed 26.8 kHz sample rate for clear resolution of high-frequency transients.

WIDE FREQUENCY RANGE

Monitor a Full Range of Equipment and Fault Types with 6-5300 Hz Detection

Detect early-stage fault symptoms in motors, gearboxes, and other equipment before failures escalate. From imbalances and misalignment to bearing wear and gear meshing, the 6 Hz to 5.3 kHz frequency range covers both low-speed and high-speed assets.

 

FMAX

Focus Monitoring Where It’s Needed with Adjustable Frequency and Resolution

Adjustable Frequency Max (FMax) lets users tailor the frequency range and sample length to machine speed and fault characteristics. Higher FMax captures a broad frequency range, using shorter sample times and default resolution suitable for detecting faults in high-speed assets. Lower FMax values provide progressively finer sample resolution and longer sampling times for detecting faults in very slow-moving assets.

HFE

Detect Early Signs of Bearing and Race Wear in Slow-Moving Equipment

High-Frequency Enveloping mode (HFE) isolates high-frequency signals by filtering out low frequencies, making it easier to detect early-stage faults like bearing wear and lubrication issues. Combining HFE with a lower FMax setting extends sampling time and improves resolution while isolating high frequencies, which is critical for detecting weak high-frequency fault signatures in slow-speed assets otherwise masked by dominant low-frequency vibrations.
