Features:
- 444-680-000-411 provides 100 mV/g sensitivity with ±10% response from 3 to 5000 Hz.
- Isolated ground with Faraday shield prevents ground loops and frame voltage disturbances.
- Shear mode operation with 2-pole filter, hermetically sealed, -55°C to +120°C operation.
The 444-680-000-411 delivers a sensitivity of 100 mV/g, providing a strong signal output that is compatible with standard IEPE signal conditioners and monitoring systems. This high sensitivity ensures that even low-level vibrations are accurately captured, making the 444-680-000-411 suitable for detecting early signs of machinery degradation such as unbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear. The frequency response is ±10% from 3 to 5000 Hz, covering the fundamental vibration frequencies of most industrial rotating machinery including pumps, compressors, turbines, and motors. The extended ±3 dB range from 0.5 to 10,000 Hz allows the 444-680-000-411 to capture both low-frequency shaft events and high-frequency gear mesh and blade pass frequencies.
The 444-680-000-411 is designed with an isolated ground and integrated Faraday shield, providing exceptional immunity to electrical interference common in industrial environments. Ground loops—unwanted currents that flow when multiple devices are grounded at different points—are a frequent source of measurement error in vibration monitoring systems. The isolated ground on the 444-680-000-411 breaks these paths, ensuring that the signal transmitted to the monitoring system accurately represents the mechanical vibration without contamination from electrical noise.
The 444-680-000-411 utilizes shear mode piezoelectric technology, where the sensing element is configured to detect shear stress rather than compression. This design provides several advantages over compression mode accelerometers: it is inherently less sensitive to thermal transients (temperature changes that can cause false outputs), and it offers a wider frequency response and better linearity. The 444-680-000-411 is hermetically sealed, meaning the internal electronics are completely protected from moisture, dust, and corrosive contaminants.
The 444-680-000-411 Vibro-meter Piezoelectric Accelerometer may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Power Plants & Utilities: Captures structural and casing vibration profiles on steam/gas turbines, massive hydro-generators, and auxiliary water pumps.
- Oil, Gas, and Petrochemicals: Monitors structural integrity on heavy centrifugal gas compressors, multiphase pumps, and high-velocity cooling fans.
- Mining & Heavy Manufacturing: Affixed directly to primary components in rock crushers, massive cement mills, rolling mill gearboxes, and industrial vibrating screens.
- Hazardous Environments: Built for long-term survival in extreme conditions prone to corrosive chemical vapors, intense oil mist, and high moisture levels.
- 2-Wire Voltage Transmission: Operates seamlessly over standard two-wire industrial paths powered by a continuous constant current supply. This design allows efficient, noise-free signal transmission over hundreds of meters without requiring field-side amplifiers.
- Ground Isolation Architecture: Engineered with an isolated electrical ground and an integrated internal Faraday shield. This eliminates disruptive ground loops and stray frame voltages, protecting data integrity from electromagnetic interference.
- Thermal Bias Voltage Stability: Maintains exceptional bias voltage stability and an ultra-low operational noise floor even at elevated process temperatures. This limits thermal drift and prevents baseline distortion.
- Machinery Protection Interlocking (MPS): Integrates with rack systems like the Vibro-Meter VM600 Mk2. If structural vibration amplitudes exceed designated safety thresholds, it triggers an emergency automatic trip to stop catastrophic mechanical failure.
- Predictive Maintenance (CBM): Continually streams clean, unfiltered high-frequency time-domain data to diagnostic platforms like VibroSight software. Engineers use this data for fast-fourier transform (FFT) spectrum analysis to spot early-stage bearing pitting, rotor unbalance, and gear mesh misalignment.
- Local Balance-of-Plant (BOP) Monitoring: Frequently deployed on secondary, smaller supporting machinery (such as lubrication pumps or exhaust fans) hooked into distributed field systems like VibroSmart networks. This ensures comprehensive plant asset coverage without high infrastructure costs.
