Industry-leading sensors and monitoring solutions for comprehensive predictive maintenance
SM7 Wireless Sensor
The SM7 sensor is the pinnacle of Waites engineering, offering superior predictive maintenance and preventive maintenance capabilities. This advanced sensor provides:
- Comprehensive vibration analysis with an 11.2 kHz Fmax and 88 kHz sampling rate.
- Early detection of bearing and lubrication issues using ImpactVUE® technology.
- Extended waveform capture for accurate monitoring of slow-moving equipment, as slow as 1 rpm.
Designed for tough and hazardous environments, the SM7 is intrinsically safe, certified for Class I, Division 1 areas, and features an IP69K-rated enclosure. It supports over-the-air updates and collects synchronized, multi-axis data in under 5 microseconds, enabling advanced diagnostics like phase and asset-train analysis. Leveraging Waites’ unmatched accuracy, the SM7 identifies over 99.92% of potential downtime events preemptively.
SV5 Tethered Sensor
The SV5 is a versatile, hard-wired sensor designed for quick installation in confined or demanding industrial environments. It delivers mid-frequency, high-g, tri-axis vibration, and precise temperature data, offering early detection of emerging faults to prevent unexpected failures and support predictive maintenance strategies.
Featuring an IP67-rated enclosure and a 10 ft tethered cable, the SV5 ensures continuous condition monitoring in tight spaces. Its compact design makes it ideal for machines that require reliable monitoring in limited spaces.
Main Features
- Tri-axis vibration, ±16 g (up to 6.4 kHz Fmax)
- Temperature range: -40 to 221°F (±1°F accuracy)
- IP67-rated enclosure
- Compact 0.53 in form factor
- 10 ft tethered cable
Universal Adapter
The Universal Adapter (UA) expands wireless monitoring capabilities to third-party sensors, converting RTDs, 0–10 V inputs, 4–20 mA signals, and CT outputs into valuable insights within the Waites platform. It supports a comprehensive predictive maintenance approach, offering broader asset health visibility beyond vibration data.
Durable, compact, and IP66-rated, the UA connects to a wireless node, accommodating multiple adapters per node. With dependable, scheduled sampling, it integrates tachometers and other analog devices, centralizing essential condition monitoring data in one reliability platform.
PiezoNode
PiezoNode extends vibration monitoring to high-temperature and difficult-to-access assets, increasing visibility in previously unmonitored areas of your facility. It excels in predictive analytics by expanding your monitoring reach without altering your reliability strategy.
Engineered for environments exceeding 480°F with an IP68-rated enclosure, PiezoNode offers single-axis piezoelectric vibration and temperature data. All data integrates into the Waites predictive maintenance system, where advanced analytics and certified reviews convert broad coverage into actionable insights to prevent costly downtime.
