Product Overview
Downtime in oil, gas, and industrial automation often traces back to a single failed measurement chain. The 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C075-D000-E010-F0-G000-H05 from Meggitt (Vibro-Meter) is a proximity measuring system built to keep shaft vibration and position data flowing. This non-contact eddy-current transducer pairs a stainless steel body with a temperature-compensated design, so it holds accuracy across demanding machinery protection applications.
This exact configuration ships with a 75 mm body length, M10 × 1 body thread, and a 1.0 m integral cable. Total system length reaches 5 m. The unit weighs just 0.22 kg and conforms to API 670 recommendations.
Key Specifications That Matter
Measurement Range and Frequency Response
The system delivers a measurement range of 2 or 4 mm with a frequency response from DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB). That combination suits shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement chains where both slow drift and high-frequency events matter.
Temperature Performance
The transducer operates from −40 to +180 °C with drift under 5%. Short-term survival extends to +180 to +220 °C. In Ex Zone use, the transducer and cable handle −40 to +195 °C. The transducer head (tip and integral cable) carries an IP68 rating.
Physical Construction
The wire coil uses a Ø8 mm Torlon (polyamide-imide) tip encapsulated in an AISI 316L stainless steel body with high-temperature epoxy glue. Integral and extension cables use FEP-covered 70 Ω coaxial cable at Ø3.6 mm. Self-locking miniature coaxial connectors hand-tighten until locked.
Comparison: Why This Configuration Stands Out
| Feature | This Unit | Typical Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Total system length | 5 m | Often 1 m or 10 m only |
| Body thread | M10 × 1 | M8 or M16 common |
| Integral cable | 1.0 m ±100 mm | Fixed short leads |
| Protection rating | IP68 head | Lower IP on standard heads |
| Temperature range | −40 to +180 °C | Narrower on economy units |
Applications and Integration
These systems serve shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement chains for machinery protection and condition monitoring. They work well with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart machinery monitoring systems, and they meet API 670 applications.
Integration Note: Wiring into fieldbus networks may require an external gateway or connection module. Confirm cables and gateways with your supplier before commissioning.
Selection Checklist
Before ordering, verify your signal conditioner compatibility. This transducer requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. Check that your measurement range (2 or 4 mm) matches your monitoring system’s input. Confirm the 5 m total length reaches your junction box without strain.

Maintenance and Reliability
Inspect the transducer tip and cable periodically for mechanical damage. The AISI 316L body resists corrosion in most industrial environments. Keep connectors hand-tightened until locked. For Ex applications, follow the manufacturer’s safety manual and local regulations. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering.
