Introduction
As industrial machinery evolved from simple rotating assemblies to high-speed turbomachinery, the need for precise, non-contact measurement became critical. The Vibro Meter 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C075-D000-E010-F0-G000-H05 Proximity Measuring System meets this demand with a robust eddy-current design. Built for shaft relative vibration and gap/position monitoring, this system delivers reliable data for machinery protection and condition monitoring in demanding environments.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C075-D000-E010-F0-G000-H05 offers a frequency response from DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB) and a measurement range of 2 or 4 mm. Its temperature-compensated design ensures stable operation from −40 to +180°C with drift less than 5%. For short-term survival, it withstands up to +220°C with drift above 5%. The transducer head carries an IP68 protection rating per IEC 60529, while vibration tolerance is 5 g peak between 10 and 500 Hz, and shock acceleration is 15 g peak. The system includes a 1.0 m integral cable and a 5 m total system length, with a body length of 75 mm and M10 × 1 thread.
Industry Applications
This proximity measuring system excels in API 670 applications, such as monitoring shaft vibration and position in steam turbines, compressors, and pumps. It integrates seamlessly with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart machinery monitoring systems. The Ex certified versions allow use in hazardous areas, making it a versatile choice for refineries, power plants, and chemical facilities.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the transducer with the M10 × 1 thread into a drilled and tapped hole. Ensure the unthreaded length is 0 mm minimum for proper tip exposure. Hand-tighten the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors until locked—do not use tools. Route the integral cable (1.0 m) and extension cable (5 m total) away from high-voltage lines. For hazardous zones, verify the Ex certification matches the area classification.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the transducer tip and cable periodically for damage. The stainless steel body (AISI 316L) and Torlon tip resist corrosion and wear. The optional FEP sheath provides chemical resistance, while the flexible stainless steel hose adds mechanical protection. Regular checks of the cable connectors and environmental seals help maintain IP68 integrity.
Compatibility & Integration
This system requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. It works with Vibro-Meter monitoring systems like VM600Mk2 and VibroSmart. The voltage or current output includes short-circuit protection. For API 670 compliance, use the system with compatible signal conditioners and monitoring racks.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify the system length (5 m), body length (75 mm), and thread (M10 × 1). Confirm the environment code (1 = Standard) and optional protection (0 = None).
