Overview

The ProvibTech TM0180 series is a family of proximity probes designed for vibration and shaft position monitoring in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other heavy industrial equipment. The TM0180-A05-B05-C03-D10 configuration specifies probe dimensions, cable type, and connector style, making it suitable for predictive maintenance programs.

It measures both static and dynamic shaft displacement, enabling early detection of imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and thrust issues. Its rugged construction ensures reliable operation in harsh environments such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation facilities.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Radial vibration monitoring to detect rotor imbalance and bearing wear

• Axial thrust position measurement for thrust bearing condition monitoring

• Shaft position monitoring to evaluate rotor alignment and stability

• Eccentricity measurement during turbine startup to detect shaft bow

• Predictive maintenance programs in power generation, oil & gas, and petrochemical industries
