Vibration Sensors

Monitran designs and manufactures a wide range of vibration sensors to support condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and machinery protection in industrial environments. With over 30 years of experience, we supply trusted sensing solutions to industries including manufacturing, energy, rail, marine, and more.

Our vibration sensors are designed to deliver accurate, repeatable measurements in demanding applications. Whether you're monitoring rotating equipment, motors, gearboxes or structures, we provide solutions that help you detect faults early, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend the life of critical assets.

What is a Vibration Sensor?

A vibration sensor is a device that detects and measures vibration levels, typically in terms of acceleration, velocity, or displacement. By continuously monitoring vibration, these sensors help operators spot changes in machine behaviour before failure occurs.

Used as part of a condition monitoring or protection system, vibration sensors provide early warning of issues such as misalignment, imbalance, looseness, or bearing wear – enabling planned interventions rather than costly breakdowns.

Our Vibration Sensor Range

At Monitran, we offer a full range of sensors tailored to different installation environments and technical requirements. These include:

  • General Purpose Accelerometers – Robust and versatile, ideal for monitoring motors, pumps, fans and other rotating machinery.
  • High Temperature Vibration Sensors – For environments where temperatures exceed standard sensor limits, such as engine rooms and furnaces.
  • Top Entry and Side Entry Options – Designed for installation flexibility, depending on your available space and cable routing.
  • Compact and Submersible Variants – Suitable for limited-space applications or where water and dust ingress is a concern.
  • Custom Vibration Sensors – We can tailor specifications to meet your technical needs, from cable length to frequency response and mounting type.

Each sensor is engineered for industrial durability, featuring stainless steel construction, sealed enclosures, and high immunity to electrical interference.

Applications of Monitran Vibration Sensors

Our sensors are used in a wide variety of industrial monitoring systems, including:

  • Predictive maintenance systems on production lines
  • Monitoring of pumps, fans, and motors in HVAC and utilities
  • Condition monitoring of generators, turbines, and rotating equipment
  • Vibration testing in R&D environments
  • Monitoring structural vibration in transport and infrastructure
