Our accelerometer data loggers use built-in tri-axial (3-axis) accelerometers to record acceleration, shock and vibration on all three axes. Models like the MadgeTech UltraShock and Shock300 deliver high-resolution shock accelerometer data for R&D, drop testing and machinery analysis, while the compact Tive Solo 5G and ProofTracker pair a 3-axis accelerometer data logger with GPS for transit monitoring.
A vibration data logger (or vibration logger) continuously records oscillation and vibration over time — ideal for machinery condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and transport testing. Our tri-axial vibration data loggers capture frequency and amplitude across the X, Y and Z axes, so you can identify imbalance, wear or resonance before it causes failure, and combine vibration with temperature and humidity where required.
From a compact shock data logger for transit claims to a rugged impact recorder rated to ±100G, we cover every shock-monitoring need. The reusable ShockLog 248 and 298 impact recorders and the affordable g-View are built for harsh, rugged environments such as rail, mining and heavy machinery, logging every impact event with time, date and magnitude. A shock datalogger turns “we think it was dropped” into documented proof.
Choosing the right logger comes down to five questions:
| Product | Type | Axes | Single-use / reusable | Real-time + GPS | Logs temp / RH | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tive Solo 5G | Impact + environmental | 3-axis | Single-use | Yes | Temp, humidity, light | One-way shipments, claims evidence |
| ProofTracker | Real-time GPS logger | 3-axis | Reusable | Yes | Optional | Live supply-chain tracking |
| MadgeTech Shock300 | Tri-axial shock logger | 3-axis | Reusable | No | Optional | Compact field & transit testing |
| MadgeTech UltraShock | Tri-axial shock logger | 3-axis | Reusable | No | Temp, humidity, pressure | R&D & lab impact testing |
| g-View | Impact recorder | Multi-axis | Reusable | No | No | Low-cost transit impact alerts |
| ShockLog 248 | Rugged impact recorder (±10G / ±30G / ±100G) | 3-axis | Reusable | No | Optional | Rail, mining, heavy machinery |
| ShockLog 298 | Rugged impact recorder (multi-event, up to 870 events) | 3-axis | Reusable | No | Temp, humidity, tilt | Detailed multi-event monitoring |
A shock and vibration data logger is a self-contained instrument that automatically records impacts, jolts and vibration over time, usually using a built-in tri-axial accelerometer. It captures the magnitude (in g), direction and timing of events so you can prove how a product, shipment or machine was handled.
A shock logger is optimised to capture short, high-amplitude impacts (drops, knocks), while a vibration logger records continuous, repetitive motion such as machinery or transport vibration. Many tri-axial accelerometer loggers do both, letting you monitor peak shocks and ongoing vibration from one device.
Match the range to your application: transit and packaging monitoring usually needs ±15g to ±25g, while drop testing, rail and heavy machinery can need ±100g or more. Choose a range that exceeds your expected peak so events aren’t clipped.
Single-use loggers are cost-effective for one-way shipments and dispute evidence. Reusable tri-axial loggers suit ongoing testing, returnable assets and R&D, where you download high-resolution data and redeploy the unit.
Yes. Several models — including the Solo 5G and MadgeTech UltraShock — log temperature, humidity and pressure alongside shock and vibration, which is valuable for cold-chain, pharmaceutical and electronics shipments.
For live, one-way shipments a real-time GPS logger such as the Solo 5G or ProofTracker is ideal. For reusable transit and field testing, a tri-axial logger like the Shock300 or a ShockLog impact recorder gives detailed waveform data on every event.
