Is the QI2500 Right for Your Machines?

The QI2500 is designed for monitoring rotating industrial equipment where vibration can reveal developing mechanical problems.

If your machines contain motors, bearings, shafts, or gearboxes, vibration monitoring can provide early warning of many common failures.

Ideal Applications

The QI2500 works well on machines such as:

• Electric motors
• Pumps
• Air compressors
• Gearboxes
• Fans and blowers
• Conveyors
• Packaging equipment
• Mixers and agitators

These machines often run continuously and contain rotating components that generate measurable vibration patterns.

Monitoring vibration on these assets can reveal early signs of:

• Bearing wear
• Imbalance
• Misalignment
• Mechanical looseness
• Gear wear

Best Use Cases

The QI2500 is particularly valuable when:

• Machine downtime is expensive
• Equipment runs many hours per day
• Failures occur without much warning
• Maintenance teams want better visibility into machine condition

Many customers start by placing sensors on their most critical assets where an unexpected failure would stop production.

When Vibration Monitoring May Not Be Necessary

Some machines produce very little vibration or fail in ways that vibration monitoring cannot detect.

Examples include:

• Purely electrical failures
• Equipment without rotating components
• Machines that run only occasionally

In these cases, other monitoring methods may be more appropriate.

A Simple Way to Find Out

The easiest way to see if vibration monitoring will help your operation is to try it on a few machines.

Start with two or three critical assets and establish a vibration baseline.

Within days you will begin to understand the normal operating condition of those machines and whether any developing issues are present.

Start Monitoring Your Machines

The QI2500 makes it easy to begin monitoring equipment without complex systems or subscriptions.

Install a sensor, collect real vibration data, and start making better maintenance decisions.
