Switches And Switch Boxes #4855844

The Vitec 438A Electronic Vibration Switch is an economical approach to accurate and reliable vibration protection for rotating machinery. Designed primarily for the OEM market but of equal value to end users, this device is a full-function vibration monitor that can be bolted directly to a machine. The rugged cast aluminum enclosure houses an accelerometer sensing element and the hardware required to qualify it as a true vibration monitor. Standard features include alarm and trip shutdown relays and signal outputs for local or remote metering purposes, and a NEMA 4 cast aluminum enclosure. An optional explosion-proof housing can be specified for use in hazardous areas.

More than a simple switch, the 438D is a single-channel vibration monitor that can be located in a centralized location, remote from operating equipment. The 438D is on guard round the clock, with cost-effective protection of motors, pumps, fans and a wide range of other rotating equipment. It provides continuous digital readout of the vibration level, and signals when a predetermined setpoint level has been reached.

The Vitec 480 is a compact Vibration Switch which combines the functions of a Vibration Transducer, Transmitter and Monitor. It provides low-cost protection of rotating machinery by signaling users when excessive vibration levels exist, indicating developing machinery problems. Ideal for motors, fans, cooling towers and a wide range of general purpose rotating machinery and processing equipment.
