Founded in 1965 by Peter J. Sundt, Metrix traces its roots to seismic measurement technology. Initially focused on geophysical exploration, this technology also found abundant applications for vibration measurements on industrial machines. As a result, machinery condition monitoring emerged as our sole focus and has remained so for 50 years.

Metrix pioneered the concept of simple, affordable machinery protection with our mechanical vibration switch offerings, revolutionary 4-20mA vibration transmitters, robust high-temperature velocity sensors, and innovative impact transmitter technology for reciprocating machinery.

In 1998 we acquired PMC/ BETA, the world’s leading provider of electronic vibration switches. In 2007 we acquired the vibration monitoring division of Hardy Instruments and their industry-leading portable vibration calibrators.

Metrix has been ISO-9001 certified for more than 20 years, which ensures that we never lose sight of quality and continuous improvement of our manufacturing processes. We stand behind our product quality with a full 36-month warranty.

Metrix operates as a unit of Roper Industries, Inc. a diversified growth company and a constituent of the S&P 500, Fortune 1000, and the Russell 1000 indices.

Metrix is the preferred supplier of industrial condition monitoring systems to many of the world’s leading manufacturers and users of cooling towers, gas turbines, reciprocating compressors, and other rotating and reciprocating machinery. With headquarters in Houston, Texas, we operate in more than 40 countries via factory-direct sales and service professionals, along with a strategic network of instrumentation partners.

Our vibration monitoring products include machinery protection systems, proximity probes, sensors and transmitters, signal conditioners, transducers, high temperature vibration sensors, mechanical switches, electronic switches, programmable electronic switches, impact transmitters, vibration monitors, portable shakers and vibration meters.
