Industry Applications
This proximity measuring system excels in machinery protection and condition monitoring for turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating assets. It measures shaft relative vibration and gap/position, feeding data to VM600Mk2/VM600 or VibroSmart® systems. API 670 compliance makes it ideal for refinery and petrochemical applications where standardized performance is required. The eddy-current principle ensures non-contact operation, eliminating wear and enabling continuous monitoring without mechanical interference.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the transducer securely using the M10 × 1 thread. Ensure the unthreaded length of 80 mm is free for proper positioning. Connect the integral cable (5.0 m) to an IQS900 signal conditioner using the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors—hand-tighten until locked. For hazardous areas, use Ex certified versions and observe temperature limits: transducer and cable −40 to +195 °C in Ex zones. Verify the total system length of 5 m matches your installation requirements.
Maintenance & Reliability
Routine inspection of the transducer tip and cable for physical damage ensures long-term accuracy. The stainless steel body (AISI 316L) and Torlon tip resist corrosion and wear. For Ex zone installations, verify that the FEP sheath and optional flexible hose remain intact. Periodic functional testing with a calibration fixture confirms drift remains below 5% within the −40 to +180 °C range. This proactive approach minimizes unplanned downtime and extends service life.
Compatibility & Integration
This system integrates seamlessly with Vibro-Meter signal conditioners like the IQS900, which provides the high-frequency power source required for eddy-current operation. It is designed for use with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart® machinery monitoring systems. The voltage or current output with short-circuit protection simplifies connection to PLCs, DCS, or dedicated monitoring platforms. Always verify system compatibility before ordering.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C165-D080-E050-F0-G000-H05, confirm your application requirements: measurement range (2 or 4 mm), cable length (5.0 m integral), and environmental conditions (temperature, Ex zone). Optional protection includes a flexible stainless steel hose or FEP sheath for chemical resistance. SpareTechPLC stocks this Vibro Meter system and can advise on availability and lead times. Please verify current lifecycle status with our team before ordering.
