Industrial Applications
Thanks to its rugged design, the Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A2-E095-F0-G000 is ideal for turbine shaft vibration monitoring, compressor clearance measurement, and pump bearing position sensing in oil and gas, power generation, and chemical processing. The ability to operate in Ex zones and withstand aggressive chemicals (with the optional FEP sheath) makes it a cost-effective choice for long-term asset protection.
Installation Guidelines
Mount the transducer securely against the target surface, ensuring the integral cable is not subjected to sharp bends. When attaching the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors, apply hand-tightening only until you feel the lock engage—do not use tools. For Ex i environments, verify that the cable length (9.5 m ±950 mm) meets your installation requirements. The optional stainless steel hose provides additional mechanical protection but is not leak-tight.
Maintenance and Long-Term Reliability
The encapsulated construction of the Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A2-E095-F0-G000 minimizes maintenance needs. No routine calibration is required under normal use. The IP68 rating protects against dust and water ingress, while the high-temperature epoxy glue ensures stable operation over many years. This translates to lower life-cycle costs and fewer replacement intervals compared to less robust sensors.
Selection and Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, confirm your environment classification (e.g., Ex i zone) and the required extension cable length. The 913-402-000-012/A2-E095-F0-G000 includes a 9.5 m cable—verify that this suits your layout. Optional protection tubes and FEP sheaths are available separately.
