Rotating Machinery Vibration Monitoring Solution — PROVIBTECH TM0180-A08-B13-C20-D10 | TM0180 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The PROVIBTECH TM0180-A08-B13-C20-D10 proximity probe is deployed in continuous, mission-critical rotating machinery monitoring applications across heavy industry. Engineers specify this eddy-current sensor wherever non-contact, real-time shaft displacement measurement is required:
- Steam & Gas Turbines — Radial shaft vibration and axial position monitoring on high-speed turbine rotors in power generation plants.
- Centrifugal Compressors — Shaft orbit analysis and rotor dynamic monitoring in petrochemical and LNG compression trains.
- Pumps & Blowers — Bearing clearance and rotor eccentricity measurement in refinery and water-treatment pump stations.
- Gearboxes — Gear mesh vibration and shaft runout detection in industrial drive trains.
- Electric Motors (>500 kW) — Continuous vibration surveillance on large induction and synchronous motors per API 670 requirements.
- Paper & Steel Mill Rolls — Roll position and vibration monitoring in continuous process lines.
Wherever API 670 / ISO 10816 compliance is mandated and machine uptime is non-negotiable, the TM0180 series is the field-proven choice.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Exact API 670 Geometry — The 8 mm tip diameter and M10 thread match the most common API 670 probe boss dimensions, enabling drop-in replacement without re-machining bearing housings.
- 2 mm Linear Range — Optimized for typical journal bearing clearances (0.1–1.5 mm), providing maximum resolution within the operating window.
- 1.3 m Integral Cable — Reaches from the probe boss to the junction box in the majority of standard turbomachinery installations without field splicing.
- Non-Contact Measurement — Zero mechanical wear; sensor life is independent of shaft speed or vibration amplitude.
- DC Response — Captures both dynamic vibration (AC component) and static position / slow roll (DC component) in a single channel.
- IP67 Sealing — Withstands oil mist, wash-down, and condensation in turbine enclosures and compressor skids.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the TM0180-A08-B13-C20-D10 a direct replacement for Bently Nevada 330101 series probes?
A: The TM0180 series is designed to be functionally compatible with standard eddy-current monitoring systems. However, always verify sensitivity (V/mm), linear range, and driver compatibility with your specific monitor before installation. Contact us for a compatibility assessment.
Q: Can this probe be used on non-ferrous targets (aluminum, titanium)?
A: Eddy-current probes are sensitive to target material conductivity and permeability. The TM0180 is calibrated for AISI 4140 steel. Use on non-ferrous targets requires field recalibration. Consult PROVIBTECH application notes.
Q: What is the maximum shaft speed this probe can monitor?
A: The DC–10 kHz frequency response supports shaft speeds up to approximately 600,000 RPM for 1× vibration detection. For practical turbomachinery (up to 30,000 RPM), the probe is well within specification.
Q: Do you supply calibration certificates?
A: Calibration certificates from the original manufacturer are supplied where available. For applications requiring fresh NIST-traceable calibration, we can arrange third-party calibration services. Inquire at order time.
Q: What is your return policy for instrumentation?
A: Unused, uninstalled items in original condition may be returned within 14 days. Items that have been installed or show field use are non-returnable. See our full returns policy at Konmask.com.
