Product Overview
When you need reliable shaft vibration and position monitoring for critical rotating machinery, the Vibro Meter 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E050-F2-G050-H05 Proximity Measuring System delivers precise, non-contact measurement. This eddy-current sensor system from the vibro-meter® product line is engineered for machinery protection and condition monitoring in demanding industrial environments.
Built to conform to API 670 recommendations, this system provides temperature-compensated performance with a frequency response from DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB). The transducer operates from −40 to +180°C with drift less than 5%, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The head of the proximity transducer (tip and integral cable) is rated IP68 according to IEC 60529, ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E050-F2-G050-H05 is configured with specific options to match your application. The body thread is M10 × 1, and the integral cable length is 5.0 m ±500 mm. Optional protection includes a flexible hose with FEP sheath (5.0 m length), providing resistance to chemicals and mechanical wear. The total system length is 5 m, and the weight is 0.22 kg.
Key performance specs include:
- Frequency response: DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB)
- Measurement range: 2 or 4 mm
- Temperature range: −40 to +180 °C (transducer operating)
- Protection rating: IP68 (transducer head)
- Vibration resistance: 5 g peak between 10 and 500 Hz (per IEC 60068-2-26)
- Shock acceleration: 15 g peak (half sine-wave, 11 ms duration, per IEC 60068-2-27)
Industry Applications
This proximity measuring system is ideal for shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement chains in machinery protection and condition monitoring. It works seamlessly with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart® machinery monitoring systems. Common applications include steam turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating equipment where API 670 compliance is required.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E050-F2-G050-H05, ensure the transducer tip is properly positioned relative to the target surface. The system requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. Connect the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors by hand-tightening until locked. The integral cable with FEP sheath provides flexibility and chemical resistance, but the stainless steel hose offers additional mechanical protection—note that it is not leak-tight.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regular inspection of the transducer tip and cable is recommended to ensure continued performance. The temperature-compensated design minimizes drift over the operating range. For Ex zone installations, verify that the transducer and cable are within the −40 to +195°C temperature limit. The FEP sheath resists almost all chemicals, reducing maintenance needs in corrosive environments.
Buying Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, verify that the system configuration matches your requirements: standard environment (A1), M10 × 1 body thread (B1), 5.0 m integral cable (E050), flexible hose with FEP sheath (F2), and 5.0 m flexible hose length (G050). The total system length is 5 m (H05). Contact SpareTechPLC to confirm availability and lifecycle status for this Vibro Meter model.
