NEW PRODUCT ALERT - 4B VIBMIL 📢
4B's Vibmil Vibration Sensor (VIBMIL) is designed for continuous monitoring of vibration levels in industrial environments.
A current loop-powered accelerometer, VIBMIL delivers precise vibration RMS velocity readings through a 4-20 mA output. Encased in a robust stainless-steel enclosure with a 3/4” NPT thread for conduit connection, VIBMIL assures durability in the harshest industrial conditions.
For added versatility, it can be supplied with optional inbuilt NTC or PT100 temperature sensors.
Designed with ease of use in mind, the VIBMIL comes equipped with a female 1/4”-28 UNF mounting thread, allowing secure attachment using screws, studs, or mounting studs. Optional converters to M8 and M6 male threads provide additional flexibility.
Integration into control systems is seamless, thanks to the 2-wire, loop-powered accelerometer, providing linearized output from 4 – 20mA, proportional to the sensor's measuring range.
The VIBMIL Vibration Sensor sets a new standard in industrial vibration monitoring, providing reliable and accurate data to optimize performance and ensure equipment longevity.
International dust hazard approved to Zone 20.

We are all deeply saddened by the death of the UK’s longest reigning monarch, our Queen Elizabeth II.
She has been rightly admired both in the UK, in the Commonwealth and in many other countries around the world for her dignity, integrity and kindness, and her empathy and natural skill in bringing very different people together in harmony and happiness.
As a mark of respect, our UK premises (4B Braime) will be closed on Monday 19th September.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: 💡
4B ADB Series Bearing Sensors – Adjustable Depth Bearing Temperature Sensors
The ADB series have been designed to allow the depth of the sensor to be adjustable depending on your application. A number of versions are available with probe lengths of 50, 100, 200 and 300 mm. The sensors screw directly into a bearing housing through a 1/4” BSPT threaded grease zerk. Each sensor is fitted with a grease zerk to allow lubrication of the bearing without the need for removal of the sensor. The ADB series have NTC or PT100 type thermistors which allow for continuous temperature monitoring.
The sensor is supplied with a 3m attached cable and can be connected to a PLC or to a hazard monitoring system, such as 4B’s Watchdog Super Elite, T500 Hotbus Elite or T400 NTC Elite. The connections are not polarity sensitive therefore special connection requirements are eliminated, and the cable can be extended in the field.
• Screw in positive mount installation
• Grease zerk for bearing lubrication
• Adjustable depth probes (50, 100, 200 & 300mm)
• ADB81 - 1/4" BSPT mounting thread with cable entry
• ADB2 - 1/8'' NPT mounting thread with conduit entry
• NTC or PT100 thermistor - continuous temperature monitoring

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: 💡
4B TOUCHSWITCH – Belt & Pulley Alignment Sensor
The 4B Touchswitch is an electro-mechanical limit switch with no moving parts, which detects tracking and misalignment problems on bucket elevators and conveyors. When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over and contacts the sensor, the built in solid-state electronic circuitry detects the lateral force of the belt or pulley and activates a voltage free solid state relay output. This output signal is used to immediately alarm and ultimately shutdown the machine.
The face of the sensor is made from hardened and annealed stainless steel, not soft brass or aluminium, so wear life is longer when a belt contacts it. The Touchswitch is not affected by dust or material build up and will still work when completely covered by material. An external test wheel allows for quick and simple sensor/system testing. The sensors are usually installed in pairs on opposite sides of the machine. The sensors can be connected directly to a PLC input, or for greater safety, to a central independent monitoring system, such as 4B’s Watchdog Super Elite, IE-Node or T500 Hotbus system.
- Force Activated Belt and Pulley Alignment Sensor
- Instantaneous Misalignment Indication
- Hardened Stainless Steel Contact Face
- External Test Feature
- Output LED Indication
- Not a Rub Block
- ATEX, UKEx, IECEx, EAC, InMetro, Nepsi, CCC, CSA Approved

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: 💡
4B WHIRLIGIG® (Patented)
The Whirligig is the new industry standard for shaft speed monitoring. A 3-in-1 universal shaft sensor mount that makes installation simple and more reliable for all inductive shaft speed sensors. The sensor mounts to the Whirligig and the complete assembly bolts to the machine’s shaft. Machine and shaft vibration does not affect the performance of the sensor, as the whole assembly moves with the shaft. Personal safety is also improved since the rotating target is completely enclosed behind a tough plastic cover.
· Fully Guarded Target for Easy Mounting of Motion Sensors
· For DIN Style and Standard Cylindrical Inductive Sensors
· Easy Installation – Only Requires M12 Tapped Hole in the Machine's Shaft; or Use a Mag-Con™ for Magnetic Connection
· Available with 1, 2 or 4 Targets
· Imperial version available
· ATEX, UKEx, EAC, CSA Approved
