SIL Certified Vibration Monitoring Equipment

5580 Smart Vibration Signal Conditioner

This signal conditioner can accept signals from machine casing-mounted velocity sensors, accelerometers, or shaft-observing proximity probe systems. It produces a 4-20 mA output proportional to the measured variable to amplify signals. This Smart Vibration Signal Conditioner features two independent channels and a scale output function that can be selected for various units (e.g., RMS, peak, or peak-to-peak if a proximity sensor is used).

When using a proximity probe system as an input, the 5580 Smart Vibration Signal Conditioner can output peak to peak vibration, thrust position, and or speed. The 5580 can be configured with the free Metrix software for a variety of scale ranges.

The 5580 comes with a BNC to access the raw signal and LEDs for sensor status. The display can be used to read both the engineering units and mA for each channel. It can be applied to various items, including generators, turbines, reciprocating compressors, industrial fans, centrifuges, natural gas/diesel engines, motors, and pumps.

SW5580 Smart Vibration Switch

The SW5580 accepts signals from machine casing mounted velocity sensors, accelerometers or shaft observing proximity probe systems and produce a 4-20 mA output proportional to the measured variable. Using the free Metrix software, the user may configure signal input types for one or two independent channels. For each channel, a green LED indicates sensor and cable integrity. In the event of sensor failure, the LED changes to red and the output current is driven below 3.6 mA, thereby signaling a malfunction. In the SW5580, each channel comes with two optional relays, either solid state or dry contacts, that can be configured for alarm level and time delay. The alarm status is indicated by the LED flashing yellow for Alert and flashing red for Danger. A BNC connector gives access to the raw input signal prior to any filtering for local analysis. A built-in 4-line alpha-numeric LCD display is used to display both dynamic input and 4-20 mA output signals. Isolation is provided between input, outputs and supply. 

SA6200A API 670 Accelerometer

This SIL Certified accelerator is a general-purpose sensor and can be used on a broad array of machinery. The broad-frequency response of 0.5 to 10 kHz (+/- 3dB), 50g range, and mounted resonance of 13 kHz make it ideal for most machinery applications.

5485C High Temp. Velocity Sensor

The 5485C High Temperature Velocity Sensor is a moving-coil velocity sensor designed for machinery applications with temperatures up to 375° C. It self-generates a signal, requiring no external power source, and provides accurate vibration measurements because of its zero-friction coil suspension. Its stainless-steel case makes it rugged and long-lasting in harsh conditions.

Most standard gas turbines provide mounting compatibility for this sensor, making it excellent for power generation, oil and gas, and transportation applications. This velocity sensor is excellent for industrial operations that want to improve their oversight and save on maintenance costs.

ST5484E Velocity Transmitter

The ST5484E is a loop-powered vibration transmitter and signal conditioner that offers reliable consistent outputs, at the accuracy level your condition monitoring system needs, without requiring additional signal conditioning circuitry. This sensor is often used in hazardous areas and offers a SIL rating. It is highly accurate and the standard for the industry. It’s perfect for rolling element bearing machines and reciprocating machines.

5550 / 5550G Vibration Switch

This affordable, inertia-sensitive vibration switch is built to protect low-to-medium-speed machinery. When vibration exceeds an adjustable level, the switch will either activate an alarm or shut down the equipment.

MX2033 3-Wire Driver

The Metrix proximity system can work with a variety of monitor racks, including those that can accept 200 mV/mil (7.87 mV/µm) or 100 mV/mil (3.93 mV/µm). The versatility of the system makes it an ideal spare part. One can configure this digital proximity system for probe type, material type, and system length. It can also work with other manufacturers’ probes and cables and meet the API 670 requirements.

MX2034 4-20 mA Proximity Transmitter

The Metrix MX2034 Proximity Transmitter is field configurable for radial vibration, axial position or speed measurements. It combines the performance of a fully API 670-compliant eddy-current proximity measurement system with the flexibility of digital configurability. Users can order exactly what they want, or they can configure their transmitter system in the field using Metrix’ free software. The MX2034 can be field configured for over 40 target materials, a variety of probe tip diameters, different manufacturers, extension cable lengths, and linear ranges. It is the ideal spare part.

The MX2034 is capable of eliminating cross-talk between two adjacently installed proximity probes, the dynamic output signal measured at the BNC can be configured for positive or negative polarity depending upon the application, and transient electrical spikes can be suppressed in the system because the sensor samples at such a high rate (18,000 times per second). There are many other advanced features of the MX2034 that customers can take advantage of to optimize the value of their transmitter system. Metrix has the probes, cables, and accessories to meet your needs.

MX8030 Proximity Probe

The MX8030 probe series has two diameter probe types consisting of 5mm and 8mm tips. These proximity probes usually come in 0.5- and 1-meter system lengths, other lengths are available. The associated triaxial cable provides a very durable shield to protect the coaxial cable inside. There are no special tools needed to set it up, due to the VibeLock™ connectors that keep the proximity probe cable and the extension cable connections in place.

MX8031 Proximity Extension Cable

This extension cable is available in 4, 4.5, 6-, 6.5-, 8-, and 8.5-meter lengths. This cable is a triaxial cable and is very durable. It has North America, ATEX and IECEx approvals, and is compliant with API 670 guidelines. These probes are fully interchangeable with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 5mm/8mm probes.

This extension cable system comes with the VibeLock™ connectors and Triaxial Cables. This extension cable will make it easier to adapt the heavy-duty nature of these cables to fit your operations.

MX2030 Proximity Probe

The MX2030 probe series has two diameter probe types consisting of 5mm and 8mm tips. The associated cable is coaxial and very flexible. These probes are generally used in very tight locations.
