VIBRO-METER IQS450 Vibration Monitoring Module – VM600 Series
Imagine a critical turbine, compressor, or pump running without real-time vibration feedback. Bearing wear goes undetected, rotor imbalance escalates silently, and the first sign of failure is catastrophic downtime — costing hundreds of thousands in lost production and emergency repairs. In high-stakes industrial environments, vibration monitoring is not optional; it is the last line of defense between controlled operation and unplanned shutdown.
The VIBRO-METER IQS450 (Part No. 204-450-000-001) is a precision signal conditioning and monitoring module within the VM600 platform — Meggitt’s industry-standard machinery protection system trusted by power generation, oil & gas, and petrochemical operators worldwide. The IQS450 is engineered for eddy-current proximity probe inputs, delivering high-accuracy displacement and vibration measurements that feed directly into protection and condition monitoring logic. Its role in the VM600 rack architecture makes it a cornerstone component for any facility running API 670-compliant machinery protection.
