Does anyone have experience with this device? It's called a "Smart Trac Encoder". It measures vibration in electric motors. It claims to discover maintenance issues before they occur.

Can anyone recommend this or a similar device?

    Vibration Analysis is a real thing. I'd like to get one of the Fluke meters, but I'm a little shy of coin.

    No experience with that thing, but it looks cute.

    I have hired companies in the past to do an analysis of entire facilities. They would stop by at different times over a few weeks and months. They would then place weights on the motors from there findings, to help "balance " the motors.

    I have found some balancing services to be a bit pricey. Cost to value can be hard to sell to those who need it most.
