Proximity and Seismic: Two core technologies
The Metrix portfolio is built around two critical sensing technologies:
• Proximity vibration sensors – Non-contact systems that measure shaft vibration, thrust position, and speed in high-value rotating machinery. Metrix's digital systems are field-configurable and fully compatible with Bently Nevada, making them ideal for retrofits and critical asset protection.
• Seismic vibration sensors – Case-mounted sensors that measure machine housing vibration using accelerometers, velocity sensors, and smart 4–20 mA transmitters. These are perfect for motors, fans, gearboxes, and other general-purpose condition monitoring needs.
Together, these solutions allow customers to monitor both relative and absolute machine motion, covering everything from simple pumps to complex turbines.
Applications across industries
The Metrix product range is ideal for:
- Power generation and energy assets
- Petrochemical and processing plants
- General manufacturing and OEM machine builders
- Marine, water treatment, and infrastructure monitoring
