Product Overview
Downtime on a critical turbine or compressor often traces back to one failed measurement chain. The 111-403-000-013-A1-B1-C086-D000-E050-F0-G000-H05 from Meggitt (Vibro-Meter) is a proximity measuring system built to keep that chain alive. It uses the eddy-current principle for non-contact shaft vibration and gap/position measurement, and it conforms to API 670 recommendations.
This exact configuration ships with a 5.0 m integral cable, an M10 × 1 body thread, and an 86 mm body length. The transducer head is rated IP68, so moisture and dust ingress will not end the measurement early. For plants running VM600Mk2, VM600, or VibroSmart machinery monitoring systems, this is a ready-to-ship spare that slots into an existing chain.

Cost Logic Behind the Specs
Every parameter here has a cost implication. The 5.0 m integral cable removes the need for a separate extension run and the labor that comes with it. The M10 × 1 thread fits standard mounting points, so you avoid adapter machining. The 0.22 kg weight keeps shipping and handling simple. And the IP68 head means fewer moisture-related failures, which is where maintenance budgets quietly drain.
The wide −40 to +180 °C operating range suits hot machinery rooms where lesser sensors drift or fail early. The transducer construction uses a wire coil with a Torlon tip, encapsulated in a stainless steel AISI 316L body with high-temperature epoxy glue. That build quality is why this system holds up in continuous duty.
Where It Fits
This proximity measuring system serves shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement chains for machinery protection and condition monitoring. Typical settings include steam and gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, and large motors where API 670 practices apply.
Because the system is temperature-compensated and offers DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB) frequency response, it captures both slow thermal drift and fast vibration events. That dual capability lets one sensor support protection trips and trend analysis at the same time, cutting the number of instruments you need per train.
Integration and Setup
The transducer requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. Output is voltage or current with short-circuit protection, which simplifies wiring into existing cabinets. Connectors are self-locking miniature coaxial types; hand-tighten them until locked.
If you plan to feed data into a plant network, note that wiring into fieldbus environments may require an external gateway or connection module. Confirm cables and gateways with your supplier before commissioning.
Selection Checklist
Before ordering, verify the thread size, body length, and cable length match your mounting point and cabinet distance. This unit carries no optional protection and no flexible hose, so plan mechanical routing accordingly. If your area is classified, confirm the Ex-rated variant you need.
