Overview

The Predictech TM201 series is designed for vibration protection and monitoring in turbines, compressors, pumps, motors, and other critical rotating equipment.

The TM201-A00-B00-C00-D00-E00-F00-G00 configuration is a modular transmitter that integrates with eddy current proximity probes to measure shaft vibration and displacement. It provides real-time monitoring and outputs a proportional 4–20 mA signal, compatible with PLC, DCS, or SCADA systems for automated machine health diagnostics.

Often described as a “machine bodyguard,” this transmitter continuously tracks vibration levels and alerts operators to imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, or other mechanical faults before they escalate.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Turbines and generators – monitoring shaft vibration and displacement.
