The TQ403 111-403-000-012 is a non-contact proximity transducer utilizing the eddy current principle for machine condition monitoring. The active tip of the device contains an internal wire coil moulded inside a Torlon housing, while the structural body is composed of stainless steel with metric threads. This model is configured with an integral coaxial cable terminated with a self-locking miniature coaxial connector.
Non-contact measurement system based on eddy-current principle
Voltage or current output with protection against short circuits
Ex certified versions for use in hazardous areas (potentially explosive atmospheres)
The TQ403 transducer operates on eddy current principles, relying on the high-frequency modulator/demodulator circuitry within the IQS450 signal conditioner to generate the electromagnetic field required for gap measurement. This signal conditioner features high-quality components enclosed in a durable aluminum extrusion. To extend the measurement system front-end, a single EA403 extension cable can be matched with the TQ403 transducer without losing calibration or component interchangeability.
For mechanical and environmental deployment in harsh conditions, optional housings, junction boxes, and interconnection protectors are available to safeguard the critical cable connections. Powering the TQ4xx-based system is highly flexible, supporting integration with machinery monitoring architecture such as VM600/VM600Mk2 modules, VibroSmart® modules, or standalone industrial power supplies.

When installing and maintaining the TQ403 111-403-000-012 passive eddy-current transducer, the target object must be confirmed as metallic, and the target surface must remain free of scratches and oil contamination Meggitt Datasheet.
Because the metric threads and the active probe tip are fragile, they must be tightened strictly according to officially specified mechanical torque to avoid excessive force, while keeping the operating environment within the limits of -40 to +180 degrees Celsius Meggitt Datasheet.
For electrical connections, pulling or sharply bending the integral coaxial cable and self-locking miniature connector is prohibited, and the entire measurement loop must maintain impedance and calibration matching with a compatible EA403 extension cable and IQS450/IQS900 signal conditioner to preserve Ex certification validity and data sampling accuracy.
The TQ403 111-403-000-012 eddy-current sensor delivers non-contact displacement data across a 12 mm measuring span. Engineered with an IP68 environmental rating, this transducer withstands field temperatures between -40°C and +180°C and holds Ex ia IIC T6 certification for explosive atmospheres. The hardware outputs a sensitivity of 1.33 mV/μm with a frequency response tracking from DC up to 20 kHz. Built with fully interchangeable system components, it pairs with the IQS450 signal conditioner to establish standard 5m or 10m measurement paths. In practice, this assembly functions as a direct monitoring interface for tracking shaft vibration and dynamic position tracking in heavy-duty compressors and turbines.
