Conveyor idler monitoring
Detecting bearing faults from early degradation through to late-stage damage, with sensors built to survive real site conditions
Senstrali provides conveyor bearing monitoring that detects idler bearing faults weeks before they become audible or visible on vibration trending. We deploy through structured field trials with clear scope and success criteria, and we keep the hardware operational so your team isn't left holding survivability risk.
Conveyor Bearing Monitoring
Our Mantis sensor system combines ultrasonic and vibration sensing to cover the full bearing degradation timeline. Ultrasonic sensing detects early-stage damage weeks before it becomes audible or shows up on conventional vibration trending. Integrated vibration sensing catches later-stage faults where the damage signature shifts to lower frequencies.
Steel-coupled transducers, wired bus architecture, and enclosures designed for dust, washdown, and vibration. No wireless dropouts. No dead sensors after three months.
Preparing for field trials in the Perth area in mid-2026.
What We Monitor
Early-stage faults: ultrasonic sensing detects microscopic bearing damage — spalling, contamination, lubrication breakdown — weeks before it becomes audible or appears on vibration trending.
Late-stage faults: integrated vibration sensing tracks mechanical degradation as it progresses toward failure, closing the gap that ultrasonic-only systems miss.
One sensor node, both measurements, continuous coverage from first signs of damage through to replacement decision.
What Makes This Different
Most conveyor monitoring fails for two reasons: the sensors don't survive, or the data doesn't change a maintenance decision.
Senstrali addresses both. Our sensors are designed from the ground up for harsh industrial conditions- not repurposed lab instruments. And our sensing architecture covers the full degradation timeline, from the ultrasonic signatures of early bearing damage through to the vibration patterns of late-stage faults.
The result: earlier detection, fewer false alarms, and maintenance decisions based on evidence.
Looking for Field Trial Partners
We're preparing to deploy Mantis on working conveyors in the Perth area in mid-2026 and we're looking for partners who want to be involved.
We scope the trial together: which conveyor, how many monitoring points, what you want to detect, and what success looks like. We install and maintain the hardware, collect data over an agreed period, and deliver bearing health reports with actionable recommendations.
