🔍 VM-5K Dual Vibration Monitoring Function
The VM-5K is designed as a dual vibration monitor within the Shinkawa VM-5 Series.
It can monitor two channels of vibration-related signals from compatible Shinkawa transducers. Depending on the model configuration, the monitor can support different measurement ranges, input signals, low- and high-frequency filtering, and output formats.
Available measurement configurations include average value, peak-to-peak value, and RMS measurement options. Recorder output configurations can include 4–20 mADC or 1–5 VDC, depending on the selected monitor code and optional cards.
🔌 VM-5G0-2 Single-Unit Rack
The VM-5G0-2 belongs to the VM-5G single-unit instrument rack family.
The VM-5G rack provides the installation environment and power arrangement for the associated VM-5 Series monitor. Shinkawa documentation identifies multiple VM-5G power supply configurations, including a 24 VDC ±10% option.
The rack and monitor combination provides a compact solution for smaller machinery monitoring installations where a full multi-slot rack is not required.
🏭 Typical Applications
⚙️ Steam turbines
🔥 Gas turbines
🌀 Compressors
💧 Pumps
⚡ Generators
🏭 Industrial rotating machinery
🚢 Marine rotating equipment
🛢️ Oil and gas machinery
🔧 Machinery protection panels
📊 Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation systems
The VM-5 Series can be configured for machinery ranging from smaller rotating equipment to large turbine-generator applications.
🛠️ Installation and Replacement Notes
Before replacing the equipment, isolate the machinery monitoring system and confirm that the associated equipment is in a safe maintenance condition.
🔧 Verify the complete monitor model and ordering code.
🔧 Confirm the VM-5K vibration-monitor configuration.
🔧 Verify the VM-5G0-2 rack version and power supply.
🔧 Confirm that the installed rack uses the correct 24 VDC configuration.
🔧 Record all sensor and output wiring before removal.
🔧 Inspect transducer cables and connectors.
🔧 Check Alert and Danger alarm settings.
🔧 Verify recorder output scaling.
🔧 Confirm measurement range and frequency filter settings.
🔧 Perform a controlled functional test after installation.
⚠️ The VM-5K family includes multiple configurable measurement ranges and signal-processing options. A replacement should therefore be matched using the complete ordering code rather than only the basic VM-5K designation.
