Product Overview
When shaft vibration data disappears, machinery protection goes blind. The 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E050-F2-G050-H05 from Meggitt (Vibro-Meter) is a non-contact proximity measuring system built on the eddy-current principle. It measures shaft relative vibration and gap or position, feeding machinery protection and condition monitoring chains. This exact configuration ships with a 5.0 m integral cable, a 5.0 m flexible stainless steel hose, and an FEP sheath. The transducer head is rated IP68, so it survives wet, oily plant environments.
Key Parameters That Matter
Measurement Range and Frequency Response
The system covers a 2 or 4 mm measurement range with a frequency response from DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB). That bandwidth captures both slow thermal growth and fast rotor dynamics, which matters when you trend vibration on turbines, compressors, or pumps.
Temperature Performance
The transducer operates from −40 to +180 °C with drift under 5%. Short-term survival extends to +180 to +220 °C. If the unit sits in an Ex Zone, the transducer and cable are rated −40 to +195 °C. Cable, connector, and optional protection handle −40 to +200 °C.
Mechanical Construction
A Ø8 mm wire coil with a Torlon (polyamide-imide) tip sits inside a stainless steel AISI 316L body, held with high-temperature epoxy glue. The integral and extension cables use FEP-covered 70 Ω coaxial cable at Ø3.6 mm. Self-locking miniature coaxial connectors hand-tighten until locked.
Environmental Durability
The transducer head (tip and integral cable) is IP68 per IEC 60529. Vibration tolerance is 5 g peak between 10 and 500 Hz per IEC 60068-2-26, and shock acceleration is 15 g peak (half sine-wave, 11 ms) per IEC 60068-2-27. Total system weight is 0.22 kg.
Where This System Fits
This configuration suits API 670 applications. It pairs directly with VM600Mk2, VM600, and VibroSmart machinery monitoring systems. Typical installations include steam and gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large motors where shaft position and vibration must stay visible. The 5 m cable and 5 m hose give enough reach for crowded skids without extra extension joints.
Installation and Setup Notes
Mount the transducer using the M10 × 1 body thread. Keep the probe tip clear of target contact — this is a non-contact system. Route the FEP-covered coaxial cable away from high-current power runs. The flexible stainless steel hose adds mechanical protection but is not leak-tight, so do not treat it as a seal. The FEP sheath resists most chemicals and limits liquid, gas, and moisture permeation. Hand-tighten the self-locking coaxial connectors until they lock.
Compatibility and Integration
The system needs a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. Output is voltage or current with short-circuit protection. When wiring into plant networks, confirm cable and gateway needs with your supplier before ordering.
Selection Checklist
Before you buy, confirm the measurement range (2 or 4 mm), cable and hose lengths, and whether the Ex Zone rating applies to your area. Verify the IQS900 conditioner is available.
