Product Overview
When a turbine train trips unexpectedly, every hour of downtime costs money. The Vibro Meter 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C072-D000-E050-F0-G000-H01 is a proximity measuring system built for exactly that reality. Manufactured by Meggitt (Vibro-Meter), it uses the eddy-current principle to measure shaft relative vibration and gap/position without touching the shaft. This model ships as a 1 m system with a 72 mm body, M10 × 1 thread, and a 5.0 m integral cable.
From a maintenance engineer’s view, the value is simple: a non-contact transducer that keeps working in harsh conditions and conforms to API 670 recommendations.

Why This Transducer Earns Its Place
The temperature-compensated design holds drift below 5% across the operating range, so readings stay trustworthy as machine temperatures swing. The stainless steel AISI 316L body with a Torlon tip survives vibration and shock levels that would destroy lesser sensors. Because the head is rated IP68, washdown and oil mist pose no threat to the transducer tip or its integral cable.
Voltage or current output with short-circuit protection simplifies integration with existing monitoring cabinets.
Applications in Oil, Gas and Heavy Industry
These measurement chains suit machinery protection and condition monitoring across the plant:
- Steam and gas turbines — shaft relative vibration monitoring for overspeed and imbalance detection.
- Compressor trains — axial position and gap measurement to catch thrust-bearing wear early.
- Pumps and motors — continuous vibration trending that supports planned maintenance instead of reactive repairs.
This model pairs naturally with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart machinery monitoring systems, and it fits API 670 applications.
Installation and Service Notes
The transducer needs a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. Keep the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors hand-tightened until locked; do not overtighten. Route the FEP-covered coaxial cable away from heavy mechanical contact, and inspect the tip and cable periodically for abrasion or chemical attack. In Ex Zone installations, the transducer and cable are rated for −40 to +195 °C.
Compatibility and Integration
Before ordering, confirm your signal conditioner, system length, and cable routing match your monitoring cabinet. Because this is a 1 m system with a 5.0 m integral cable, verify the run between probe and conditioner.
