Introduction
As industrial machinery evolves toward higher speeds and tighter tolerances, the need for precise, non-contact vibration and position measurement has never been greater. The Vibro Meter 111-412-000-013-A2-B1-E010-F0-G000-H05 Proximity Measuring System meets this demand with a robust eddy-current design engineered for continuous operation in the most demanding environments.
Technical Specifications
The 111-412-000-013-A2-B1-E010-F0-G000-H05 is a complete system from the vibro-meter® product line. It includes a transducer with an M10 × 1 body thread and an integral cable length of 1.0 m ±100 mm. The total system length is 5 m, with no flexible hose or optional protection. Weighing only 0.22 kg, this compact unit is designed for easy installation in tight spaces.
Key performance parameters include a frequency response from DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB), a measurement range of 2 or 4 mm, and an operating temperature range of −40 to +180 °C for the transducer. The transducer head and integral cable are rated IP68 per IEC 60529, ensuring reliable operation in wet or dusty conditions.
Industry Applications
This proximity measuring system is ideal for shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement chains used in machinery protection and condition monitoring. It conforms to API 670 recommendations, making it suitable for critical rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and pumps. The Ex certified version (Environment code 2 = Explosive Ex i) allows safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres, expanding its application to oil and gas, petrochemical, and mining industries.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 111-412-000-013-A2-B1-E010-F0-G000-H05, ensure the transducer tip is properly positioned relative to the target shaft. The self-locking miniature coaxial connectors should be hand-tightened until locked—do not use tools, as overtightening can damage the connector. The integral and extension cables are FEP covered 70 Ω coaxial cable, Ø3.6 mm, and must be routed away from high-voltage sources to avoid interference.
Compatibility & Integration
This system is designed for use with the IQS900 signal conditioner, which provides the high-frequency power source required for eddy-current operation. It integrates seamlessly with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart® machinery monitoring systems, making it a drop-in solution for new installations or upgrades.
Maintenance & Reliability
The 111-412-000-013-A2-B1-E010-F0-G000-H05 is built for long-term reliability. The transducer construction features a wire coil Ø8 mm, Torlon (polyamide-imide) tip, encapsulated in stainless steel body (AISI 316L) with high-temperature epoxy glue. The system withstands vibration up to 5 g peak (10 to 500 Hz) and shock acceleration up to 15 g peak. Regular inspection of the cable and connectors for wear or damage is recommended. For Ex zone installations, verify that the temperature limits for transducer and cable (−40 to +195 °C) are not exceeded.
