Features:
- Non-contact measurement system based on eddy-current principle
- Ex certified versions for use in hazardous areas (potentially explosive atmospheres)
- Voltage or current output with protection against short circuits
The system is based on the TQ442 non-contact sensor and the IQS450 signal conditioner. Together, they form a calibrated proximity measurement system, where each component is interchangeable. The voltage or current output by the system is proportional to the distance between the sensor tip and the target (e.g., a machine shaft).
The IQS450 signal conditioner includes a high-frequency modulator/demodulator to provide a drive signal to the sensor. This signal generates the electromagnetic field required to measure the gap. The conditioner circuitry is manufactured using high-quality components and mounted within an aluminum profile.
The IQS450 204-450-000-002 Vibro-Meter Proximity measurement system may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

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.
The IQS450 signal conditioner can operate at ambient temperatures up to 85°C, but this necessitates reducing the maximum input voltage. The IQS450 must operate between its minimum and maximum supply voltage.
This module is an essential component for mechanical protection and condition monitoring of heavy-duty rotating equipment:
Relative Shaft Vibration: Measures the dynamic movement of the shaft within the bearing to identify imbalances or misalignments.
Axial (Thrust) Position: Monitors the longitudinal "float" of the shaft to prevent catastrophic internal contact in turbines and compressors.
Rotating Machinery: Optimized for steam turbines, gas turbines, and water turbines, as well as alternators, turbo compressors, and pumps.
Hazardous Environments: Certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, with Ex ia (intrinsically safe) and Ex nA (explosion-proof) ratings.
