1420116349: ATLAS COPCO VIBRATION PROBE

The new and original Atlas Copco 1420116349 Vibration Probe is a high-precision, non-contact displacement sensor engineered for continuous real-time vibration monitoring on Atlas Copco oil-free centrifugal air compressors, including the ZH and ZH+ series. Manufactured in Japan to the most stringent quality and dimensional standards, this probe forms the sensory backbone of the compressor’s mechanical protection system — detecting abnormal shaft vibration before it escalates into costly or catastrophic equipment failure.

1. Product Introduction

The probe operates on the principle of eddy current induction. As industry measurement authority explains, “the sensor itself is an encapsulated coil of wire, energized with high-frequency alternating current (AC)” which generates a magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the surface of the adjacent rotating shaft. The gap between the probe tip and the shaft surface determines the degree of magnetic coupling, and changes in that gap — representing shaft vibration — are continuously converted into a calibrated voltage output signal. This non-contact measurement technology allows the probe to monitor actual shaft motion in real time without any mechanical contact or wear.

In Atlas Copco centrifugal compressors, this vibration signal feeds directly into the Atlas Copco Elektronikon® control system — the company’s patented advanced electronic monitoring and control platform. The Elektronikon® processes the probe’s output to track vibration levels against factory-defined safety thresholds and initiates protective shutdowns when abnormal conditions are detected, preventing damage to bearings, impellers, and other high-value rotating components.

Atlas Copco’s own engineering documentation confirms that vibration probes are installed at the bearing positions of centrifugal compressor pinion shafts, and the company’s T-series compressor design specifically incorporates a smart plug-in architecture that provides “easy access to all rotating parts such as dry face seals, impellers, bearings or vibration probes” (Atlas Copco Gas and Process — Driving Centrifugal Compressor Technology).

We as an authorized Atlas Copco distributor, supplies this part directly from Atlas Copco (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd. Every unit we deliver is a brand-new, genuine Atlas Copco original product — manufactured in Japan under Atlas Copco’s global quality management system, fully compatible with your existing monitoring and control architecture.

Product Advantages

✅ Non-Contact Measurement Protects Both Sensor and Shaft

Because the vibration probe uses eddy current technology to measure shaft displacement without physical contact, it introduces zero mechanical load on the rotating shaft and experiences no contact wear itself. As the Vibromera precision sensor reference library notes, eddy current proximity probes are “almost universally used on machines like large steam and gas turbines, centrifugal and axial compressors, turbo-generators, and large pumps and motors equipped with sleeve or journal bearings” precisely because they deliver reliable, high-fidelity readings in demanding environments where contact sensors would degrade rapidly (Vibromera, Proximity Probe Reference, 2025).

✅ Real-Time Early Warning — Stop Failures Before They Start

The probe continuously measures shaft vibration and feeds live data to the Elektronikon® controller. Atlas Copco’s vibration measurement service team states that their diagnostic tools can “identify early warning signs of problems such as bearing wear, rotor instability, misalignment or imbalance” in real time — and this probe is the foundational hardware that makes such detection possible. Catching these anomalies early allows maintenance teams to schedule intervention before minor imbalances become major failures.

✅ Directly Integrated with the Atlas Copco Elektronikon® System

The 1420116349 probe is engineered and calibrated to interface natively with the Elektronikon® monitoring and control platform. The Elektronikon® system — described by Atlas Copco as “the state-of-the-art in reliability” — can trigger automatic protective shutdowns, log vibration history, and generate maintenance alerts based on the probe’s output signal (Atlas Copco Elektronikon® User Manual). Using a genuine, factory-calibrated probe guarantees that the signal chain from probe to controller operates within designed parameters, eliminating false alarms or missed anomaly events.

✅ Prevents Extremely Costly Unplanned Downtime

Atlas Copco highlights that “unexpected downtime and rising energy bills are among the costliest risks for industrial operators today” (Ben John, Business Line Manager Industrial Air, Atlas Copco, 2025). Centrifugal compressors running without a functional vibration probe operate blind to developing mechanical faults. A single undetected bearing failure or rotor imbalance can destroy impellers, gearbox elements, and shaft seals — turning a low-cost sensor replacement into a six-figure repair. The 1420116349 probe provides the protection that makes this scenario avoidable.

✅ Japanese Precision Manufacturing — Built for Harsh Industrial Environments

Manufactured in Japan, the probe is constructed with advanced materials selected to withstand the high operating temperatures, acoustic vibration levels, and oil-mist atmospheres characteristic of centrifugal compressor enclosures. The eddy current sensing element itself is hermetically encapsulated, protecting the coil assembly from contamination, moisture, and mechanical shock — ensuring stable signal output throughout a full service life in demanding plant conditions.

✅ 100% Genuine Atlas Copco Original Part — Full Traceability

Sourced exclusively from Atlas Copco (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd., each probe we supply carries the full quality assurance of the Atlas Copco global supply chain. Dimensional tolerances, signal output characteristics, and connector specifications are identical to those installed at the factory — ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with no re-calibration required. Origin documentation is available upon request, providing full traceability from manufacturer to end user.
