Machine Sentry® Fixed MSF-2

Machine Sentry Fixed MSF-2 is the latest triaxial vibration and temperature sensor from AVT Reliability® and has an improved battery life, frequency range, data transfer speed and memory.

Machine Sentry® Fixed (MSF2)

The MSF2 sensor is designed to support proactive condition monitoring across a wide range of industrial equipment including compressors, pumps, and motors. By measuring critical parameters in real time, MSF2 helps detect faults early and reduce the risk of unexpected failure.

Its wireless design allows for easy installation in hard-to-access or hazardous areas. Sensors can be temporarily attached using a magnetic mount or permanently installed for continuous or semi-continuous monitoring of your assets.

Data can be captured via Bluetooth® to a handheld Android device, or remotely via the Machine Sentry® Gateway, which connects over 100 sensors and uploads condition data directly to the Machine Sentry® database for ongoing reliability insights.
