Vibration monitoring systems
VibSys®
VibSys® is a compact vibration monitoring system and cloud gateway designed for continuous condition monitoring of rotating machinery. It captures high-quality vibration data close to the asset and enables advanced analysis without the complexity of traditional systems. VibSys® integrates easily with existing sensors, control systems, and analysis platforms, bridging the gap between legacy infrastructures and modern IoT environments. Its flexible architecture makes vibration monitoring accessible for a wider range of applications while maintaining data integrity.
RecipSys 200
RecipSys 200 is a compact monitoring system specifically developed for reciprocating compressors. It provides accurate, real-time insight into rider band wear, eliminating the need for periodic production shutdowns and manual inspections. The transmitter-based design makes the system affordable and easy to install, extending condition monitoring to a broader range of compressors. By delivering continuous, actionable data, RecipSys 200 helps operators reduce downtime, optimize maintenance planning, and protect critical compressor assets.
Speed protection & monitoring systems
SpeedSys® ODS
SpeedSys® ODS is a range of advanced, SIL-rated speed protection systems designed to detect overspeed and excessive acceleration on rotating machinery. Built for safety‑critical applications, the hardware supports SIL2 and SIL3 requirements and is fully aligned with API 670 standards. Its compact, transmitter-based architecture reduces installation impact while delivering high integrity protection. SpeedSys® ODS provides a reliable, independent safety layer that helps operators safeguard critical machinery without the complexity of traditional rack-based systems.
SpeedSys® Tachometers
The Istec SpeedSys® tachometer series delivers reliable speed monitoring and switching for a wide range of rotating machinery. With a compact design and small technical footprint, SpeedSys® tachometers enable low-impact installations and easy integration into existing control and monitoring systems. The series is available in four different versions, offering flexibility in channel count, outputs, and functionality. This makes SpeedSys® tachometers suitable for both straightforward monitoring tasks and more advanced protection and control applications.
