About

Vibration Detector Sensor

Features
Read full description

Vibration Meter helps you measure and monitor vibration using your iPhone’s built-in accelerometer. Designed for mechanics, HVAC technicians, factory workers, maintenance teams, and engineers, it gives you fast real-time vibration readings in a simple industrial-style interface. Track live acceleration, RMS vibration, peak values, and vibration trends while inspecting motors, engines, pumps, fans, compressors, and other equipment. Use the live waveform graph and frequency spectrum to better understand vibration behavior and spot abnormal machine movement early. Key Features • Real-time vibration meter using the iPhone accelerometer • Live RMS vibration measurement • Peak vibration detection • X, Y, and Z axis acceleration values • Live vibration waveform graph • Frequency spectrum view • Vibration alarm with sound alert • Session logging for vibration history • CSV export for saved sessions • Simple machine-health style interpretation Who It’s For Vibration Meter is useful for: • Mechanics • HVAC technicians • Maintenance engineers • Factory and plant technicians • Building inspectors • Construction and industrial workers Use Cases • Check motor and fan vibration • Monitor engine vibration • Inspect pumps and compressors • Compare vibration before and after maintenance • Record vibration sessions for later review • Export readings for reports and diagnostics Premium Features Unlock advanced tools including: • Vibration history • CSV export • Frequency spectrum • Custom vibration alarms • Full session recording Important Note Vibration Meter uses your iPhone’s built-in sensors and is intended for general monitoring, inspection, and trend analysis. It is not a substitute for a certified professional vibration instrument when compliance-grade measurement is required.
