Features:

  • TQ403 111-403-000-012 provides 12mm non-contact eddy-current measurement with DC to 20 kHz frequency response.
  • Ex ia IIC T6 hazardous area certification with -40°C to +180°C operation and IP68 transducer protection.
  • Interchangeable system components with 1.33 mV/μm sensitivity and 5/10m total system length options.
The TQ403 111-403-000-012 offers a linear measurement range of 0.75 to 12.75 mm, providing exceptional versatility for measuring both static shaft position and dynamic vibration in large rotating machinery. This extended range is particularly valuable for axial thrust position monitoring where shaft movement can exceed the capabilities of shorter-range sensors. The sensitivity of 1.33 mV/μm (34 mV/mil) for voltage output ensures that small changes in gap are accurately detected, while the frequency response from DC to 20 kHz captures both slow thermal drift and high-frequency vibration events.

The TQ403 111-403-000-012 is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres with Ex ia IIC T6...T3 Ga protection, covering Zone 0, 1, and 2 hazardous locations. This certification is critical for installations in oil refineries, chemical plants, and offshore platforms where flammable gases or vapors may be present. The transducer operates continuously from -40°C to +180°C, with short-term survival up to +220°C, making it suitable for high-temperature turbine and compressor applications. The transducer tip and integral cable are rated IP68, providing complete dust-tight protection and resistance to continuous immersion, ensuring reliable performance in wet or contaminated environments.

The TQ403 111-403-000-012 is part of a calibrated proximity measurement system where all components are fully interchangeable. This means that any TQ403 transducer, EA403 extension cable, and IQS450 signal conditioner can be combined without requiring individual calibration matching, simplifying field replacement and reducing spare parts inventory. The total system length can be configured as 5 meters (1.0m integral + 4.0m extension, or 5.0m integral with no extension) or 10 meters (1.0m + 9.0m, 5.0m + 5.0m, or 10.0m integral with no extension). The self-locking miniature coaxial connectors are hand-tightened until locked, requiring no special tools.

The TQ403 111-403-000-012 Vibro-meter Proximity Transducer may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

General

  • Manufacturer Vibro-meter
  • Model TQ403 111-403-000-012
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family GSI130 244-130-000-204,444-680-000-411
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Relative Shaft Vibration: Captures real-time dynamic motion of a rotating shaft relative to its journal bearings to identify rotor instability or imbalance.
  • Axial Displacement & Thrust Position: Measures longitudinal shaft movement (axial drift) to prevent devastating internal rubbing between turbine rotors and stators.
  • Rotational Speed & Phase Reference: Serves as a tachometer probe or a Keyphasor™ marker by detecting notches or keyways on a rotating shaft.
  • Core Equipment Deployment: Widely used on critical industrial assets, including steam and gas turbines, high-pressure turbo-compressors, centrifugal pumps, hydro-generators, and heavy-duty industrial fans.
  • Sensor Tip Temperature: Can continuously operate in intense thermal environments ranging from -40°C to +180°C.
  • High-Pressure Resistance: The specialized PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) or Torlon® sensor tip can withstand continuous operating pressures up to 100 bar.
  • Ingress Protection: The sensor head and its integral FEP-covered coaxial cable are rated IP68, rendering them completely impervious to hot lubricating oils, water, moisture, and chemical vapors.
  • Signal Output: The conditioner converts the gap between the shaft and sensor into a voltage (typically -1.6 V to -17.6 V) or current (15.5 mA to 20.5 mA) output.
  • System Integration: These signals are fed into monitoring systems like the Vibro-Meter VM600 or VibroSmart® to track machinery health.
  • Protection & Diagnostics: The system acts as a protective layer, with the ability to trigger alarms or automatic, safe shutdowns via the Distributed Control System (DCS) if vibration or displacement exceeds safe limits. Modern IQS900 units feature Built-In Self-Test (BIST) for improved reliability.
Description
The TQ403 111-403-000-012 is a non-contact proximity transducer from Vibro-meter's TQ4xx series, designed for measuring shaft relative vibration and position in rotating machinery. This TQ403 111-403-000-012 operates on the eddy-current principle, providing a voltage or current output proportional to the distance between the transducer tip and the target surface. 

The TQ403 111-403-000-012 offers a linear measurement range of 0.75 to 12.75 mm with a sensitivity of 1.33 mV/μm (34 mV/mil) for voltage output or 0.417 μA/μm (10.6 μA/mil) for current output. The TQ403 111-403-000-012 has a frequency response from DC to 20 kHz (-3 dB), making it suitable for both static position and dynamic vibration measurements.
