The Metrix ST5491E-021-420-00 vibration transmitter combines a precision case-mounted velocity sensor and signal conditioner in one compact package. Designed for industrial equipment monitoring, it provides a reliable 4–20 mA output proportional to vibration velocity, allowing direct connection to PLC, DCS, or other monitoring systems. Its rugged stainless steel construction and advanced filtering functions ensure accurate, stable performance in harsh environments.
Reliable and Accurate Vibration Monitoring
The ST5491E delivers high-accuracy vibration measurement for motors, pumps, compressors, and rotating machinery. With a built-in LCD indicator, technicians can instantly view readings in ips or mm/s, reducing the need for external instruments. Its loop-powered design simplifies wiring, while integrated temperature and shock protection enhances durability in demanding industrial sites.
Enhanced Signal Performance
This transmitter features advanced high-pass and low-pass filters that reduce noise and prevent false readings. Operators can select frequency response ranges up to 2000 Hz, ensuring precise velocity measurement across different applications. The ST5491E also includes built-in strain isolation, minimizing the impact of mounting stress and housing vibration on measurement accuracy.
