Platform overview
Three-axis vibration & machine-condition sensing
ForgePulse collects simultaneous X/Y/Z acceleration, local temperature and three-axis magnetic-field data from motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes and similar rotating assets. Removable microSD storage keeps raw measurements available for maintenance analysis.
Capture raw measurements
Select ±2 g, ±4 g, ±8 g or ±16 g acceleration ranges and retain timestamped X/Y/Z records.
Keep condition data together
Record temperature and magnetic-field measurements alongside vibration, battery status, warnings and errors.
Install close to the asset
Direct threaded mounting or a magnetic base supports installation on a flat, rigid surface near the bearing housing.

- Periodic condition-data collection
Integration notes
Configuration matters
The datasheet lists 1–2 years of battery life. Service life depends on the programmed measurement, recording and sleep duty cycle. The current datasheet revision describes local recording; wireless protocol and radio configuration should be specified for the application.

A monitoring option for your motor series
Evaluate a factory-mounted sensor or a kit supplied with the motor. Define the mounting, enclosure, measurement settings and user training together. Periodic data review can be scoped as a separate service after the pilot.
Read the motor monitoring guide ↗Start with one motor. Define a measurable pilot.
Installation
Agree the asset, mounting point, sensor settings and operating conditions.
Measurement
Collect repeatable measurements and a normal-operation baseline; investigate changes in context.
Pilot review
Evaluate data quality, installation effort and usefulness to the maintenance team before defining the next scope.
A pilot evaluation does not itself establish validated failure prediction or a reduction in downtime.
