Product Overview: The Vibro Meter 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E010-F1-G010-H10 Proximity Measuring System
In rotating machinery protection, accurate shaft vibration measurement is critical. The Vibro Meter 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E010-F1-G010-H10 Proximity Measuring System delivers high-reliability non-contact measurement using the eddy-current principle. This Meggitt (Vibro-Meter) system is built for continuous monitoring in harsh industrial environments and is certified for use in hazardous areas. Upgrading from older proximity probes to this model ensures compliance with API 670 recommendations and provides a temperature-compensated design for stable readings across a wide operating range.
Technical Specifications

Industry Applications
The Vibro Meter 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E010-F1-G010-H10 Proximity Measuring System is ideal for shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurements in machinery protection and condition monitoring. Common applications include:
-
Turbines & Compressors: Provide continuous vibration monitoring to prevent catastrophic failures.
-
Pumps & Motors: Detect shaft displacement and eccentricity in rotating equipment.
-
API 670 Installations: Meets the stringent recommendations of API 670 for vibration, position, and shaft eccentricity.
Maintenance & Reliability
This system is designed for long-term reliability. The transducer uses a stainless steel body (AISI 316L) with a Torlon tip encapsulated in epoxy, ensuring resistance to chemicals and moisture. The flexible stainless steel hose (optional protection) adds mechanical protection without compromising flexibility. FEP sheath option offers chemical resistance for aggressive environments. Regular inspection of the integral cable and connectors (hand-tightened only) is recommended to maintain IP68 integrity. The temperature-compensated design reduces drift, minimizing recalibration frequency.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When ordering the Vibro Meter 111-412-000-013-A1-B1-E010-F1-G010-H10, verify the system length (10 m total) and integral cable length (1.0 m ±100 mm). The part number includes options for body thread (M10×1), flexible hose protection, and cable lengths. For applications in Ex zones, ensure the transducer and cable rating (−40 to +195 °C) suits your ambient conditions.
