Vibration TQ412

Usage Parameters

Sensor Thread: The sensor body is only available with metric threads, ensuring easier, standardized and reliable connection with other components.

Cable Options: The Vibration TQ412 is equipped with an integral coaxial cable that terminates with a self-locking micro coaxial connector. In addition to this, a variety of cable lengths (integral and extended) can be ordered, so it can be installed flexibly according to the distance requirements between the sensor and the signal conditioner.

Power Supply: The relevant machinery monitoring system, such as the VM600 card or the Vibrosmart® module, can power the sensor, allowing multiple options for powering the device according to the settings and requirements of the application.

Product Functions

Proximity Measurement: The main function of the Vibration TQ412 is to perform proximity measurement. An electromagnetic field is established between the sensor and the measured object to accurately measure the gap between the sensor and the target object. Proximity measurement can accurately and reliably detect distances and is suitable for applications where the position or gap of moving parts needs to be monitored, such as the safety distance in rotating machinery to detect possible contact or misalignment issues.

Signal Generation and Conditioning: The IQS 450 signal conditioner in the system contains a high-frequency modulator/demodulator. This component provides the drive signal to the sensor to generate the electromagnetic field required for measurement. The conditioner circuit made of high-quality components is mounted in an aluminum extrusion, ensuring stable and accurate signal processing and conditioning. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio and provides a clean and reliable output for further analysis or control purposes.

Mechanical and Environmental Protection: Optional enclosures, junction boxes, and interconnect protectors are available for mechanical and environmental protection of the joints between the integrated cable and the extension cable. This protects the integrity of the aforementioned electrical connections, thereby protecting them from physical damage, moisture, dust, and other factors that can affect actual performance and reliability in industrial environments.

Applications

Industrial Machinery Monitoring: In manufacturing plants, the Vibration TQ412 is widely used to monitor vibration and proximity of different types of industrial machinery such as motors, pumps, compressors, and turbines. By continuously measuring the vibration level and position of key components, mechanical problems such as imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear and looseness can be detected in advance. This can avoid sudden failures, reduce maintenance costs, and improve equipment reliability and productivity.

In the Power Generation Industry: In power plants, it plays an important role in monitoring the condition of generators, steam turbines, and other large rotating equipment. The precision proximity measurement and vibration analysis of the Vibration TQ412 helps to operate power generation systems safely and efficiently by reducing downtime and maximizing power output.

In Automotive Manufacturing: The Vibration TQ412 can be used in the automotive industry to monitor vibration and clearances in engine components, drivetrains, and chassis components during manufacturing and vehicle operation. This helps improve vehicle performance and durability, and detects and resolves potential quality issues before they lead to larger problems. Aerospace Applications: It can also be used in the aerospace field, where accuracy and reliability are top priorities, to monitor the vibration and proximity of aircraft engine components, landing gear systems, and other supporting components. Information from the device can be used for predictive maintenance of aircraft to ensure safety and airworthiness.
