VM600 RPS6U 200-582-963-NHh Radial Position Sensor

High-Precision Radial Position Sensor for Turbine Monitoring

Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

Critical Clearance Monitoring: The VIBRO VM600 RPS6U 200-582-963-NHh delivers unmatched radial position measurement with 0.1μm resolution, essential for monitoring journal bearing clearances in turbines and compressors. Its dual-probe-per-bearing configuration (X/Y axes) provides comprehensive shaft orbit analysis, detecting dangerous vibration patterns before equipment damage occurs.

Multi-Channel Precision: Six independent eddy current channels simultaneously track shaft position at critical points along the rotor. Real-time gap measurement prevents catastrophic rubbing events in high-speed rotating machinery while optimizing hydrodynamic bearing performance through accurate oil film thickness monitoring.

Intelligent Diagnostics: Advanced algorithms detect abnormal shaft displacement trends and provide early warning of impending issues like bearing wear, misalignment, or thermal bowing. The module’s integrated self-diagnostics verify sensor integrity during operation, eliminating false trip events that cause unnecessary downtime.

Hazardous Area Certification: Designed for demanding environments, the VIBRO VM600 RPS6U 200-582-963-NHh carries ATEX and IECEx certifications for Zone 1 hazardous locations. Its -40°C to +120°C operational range ensures reliable performance in extreme temperature conditions common in power generation and oil & gas applications.

Seamless System Integration: With simultaneous 4-20mA outputs for each channel plus RS485 digital interface, the module integrates with all major control systems including GE Mark VIe, Siemens T3000, and ABB Symphony. Automatic temperature compensation maintains measurement accuracy across operating ranges.
