Vibration TransmittersMechanical sign-off
Send the envelope, mounting thread and gender, seating face, connector clearance and cable exit.
METRIX / IMI / WILCOXON / HANSFORD / IFM
Review the interface.
Then the replacement.
Vibration transmitter cross-references are a starting point for engineering review. A matching range or connector does not establish interchangeable operation.
Send an original model & drawing ↗
Find the original model and its interface.
Reference data identify the original equipment. Each VTX request still needs its controlled drawing, detector, pinout and environmental review.
| Original model / source | Detector & full scale | Electrical / mounting interface | VTX review entry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metrix ST5484E-121 / -122 / -123Manufacturer source ↗ | RMS-derived Peak 1.0 / 0.5 / 2.0 in/s respectively | Exact mounting / connection suffix required Rev BG identifies derived peak. Confirm PLC detector and each mechanical suffix. | VTX-420-LF configuration review → |
| Metrix ST5484E-151 / -152 / -153Manufacturer source ↗ | True RMS 1.0 / 0.5 / 2.0 in/s respectively | Thread pitch, gender and connection depend on suffix M8 × 1.0 and M8 × 1.25 are different options. Match the full ordering code. | VTX-420-LF configuration review → |
| Metrix SW5484EManufacturer source ↗ | Relay / current functions by original configuration Setpoint / detector review | Supply, relay contacts, mounting and reset Listed as discontinued by Metrix, which also lists its own successor. Review electronic supply and relay behavior. | VTX-SW configuration review → |
| Metrix AM3030Manufacturer source ↗ | Controller input / alarm configuration Input scaling to confirm | Panel / cabinet, relay and input power Review input excitation, engineering scale, relay rating and fail-state. | VTX-DIN configuration review → |
| Wilcoxon PC420VR / PC420VP / -DAManufacturer source ↗ | VR = RMS, VP = Peak -05 / -10 / -20 = 0.5 / 1.0 / 2.0 in/s | MIL / cable / mounting per exact suffix -DA adds dynamic acceleration output. Specify VTX-420D review if that second signal is required. | VTX-420 configuration review → |
| Wilcoxon PC420AR / PC420APManufacturer source ↗ | AR = RMS, AP = Peak acceleration Acceleration g, not velocity in/s | Original drawing and calibration required Use acceleration output in the RFQ. A velocity profile does not define the required g range. | VTX-420 configuration review → |
| Hansford HS-420 M12 TS029.8 / HS-421Manufacturer source ↗ | RMS / option by exact model 0–10 / 20 / 25 / 50 mm/s by configuration | HS-420 TS029.8: Pin 2 +, Pin 4 return The cited M12 revision specifies 15–30V and 10–1000Hz. Obtain the HS-421 document separately for dual output. | VTX-420 configuration review → |
| IFM VTV122Manufacturer source ↗ | RMS 0–25 mm/s, 10–1000Hz | Pin 1 L+, Pin 2 current output Single-axis analog current output. IO-Link models use a different interface. | VTX-420 configuration review → |
| Banner QM30VT2 / -SSManufacturer source ↗ | Two-axis vibration features + temperature Feature/register review | RS485 Modbus RTU The standard referenced model is aluminum IP67. Get the exact stainless model data and map before replacing. | VTX-MOD configuration review → |
| SICK MPB10Manufacturer source ↗ | Three-axis features, shock and temperature Process-data / service-data review | IO-Link Request IODD and feature mapping. A Modbus sensor needs a different controller connection. | VTX-MOD-IOL configuration review → |
| IMI 640B / 641B / 655A / 656AManufacturer source ↗ | Confirm detector from full model document Original full scale and passband required | Connector and pinout to confirm Supply the current manufacturer datasheet and complete suffix for a numerical comparison. | VTX-420 configuration review → |
| Sensonics PZDC / Emerson AMS CSI | Identify exact original architecture Original datasheet required | Analog, wired digital or wireless to identify Send the complete original model, host system and document revision for manual configuration review. | Manual configuration review → |
Third-party names identify the original equipment. Complete suffixes, drawing revisions, certifications and controller configuration determine the review scope.
Electrical sign-off
Send supply, current burden, AI type, connector pin numbers, isolation and fault behavior.
Measurement sign-off
Send units, RMS / Peak, frequency band, axis, response time and required calibration.
MATING CONNECTOR / MOUNT / CABLE
The interface is more than the number of pins.
Confirm the drawing for both ends of the connection. A familiar plug or thread does not establish wiring or mechanical compatibility.
M12 cable connection
Confirm coding, pin assignment and cable-exit clearance.
MIL-C-5015 cable connection
Check mating gender, contact assignment and locking clearance.
Threaded mounting adapter
Match pitch, gender, usable depth and seating faces.
