Description
SHINKAWA VM-5K-SST-2194-001-P001G – Vibration Monitoring Module for Critical Rotating Machinery
The SHINKAWA VM-5K-SST-2194-001-P001G is a plug-in module for the VM-5K machinery protection system, designed for continuous vibration and shaft condition monitoring on turbines, compressors, and other high-value rotating assets. From my experience, the VM-5K platform is favored in petrochemical and power plants because it provides stable protection, straightforward rack-based maintenance, and consistent compatibility with SHINKAWA proximity probe systems. You might notice that this module focuses on dependable alarm handling and clean signal conditioning rather than flashy extras—exactly what most maintenance teams actually want in a protection rack.

Key Features
- VM-5K rack integration – Plug-in module powered via the system backplane; no separate power feed required.
- Proximity probe compatibility – Typically supports SHINKAWA eddy-current proximity probe systems for shaft vibration/position measurements.
- Alarm processing – High/High-High alarm logic and relay handling through the VM-5K frame for machinery protection trips (in most cases).
- Buffered outputs – Buffered signal outputs for portable data collectors and diagnostic analyzers.
- 4–20 mA trends (via rack) – Current loop outputs available through the VM-5K system for DCS trending, which keeps operators in the loop.
- Stable, low-noise conditioning – Seems to be tuned for steady baselines and reliable threshold detection rather than aggressive filtering.
- Service-friendly – Front-accessible terminals and clear labeling on the VM-5K rack make swaps and checks quick during turnarounds.
Technical Specifications

| Operating Temperature | 0 to +55 °C (typical control-room installation) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | Proximity probe inputs (eddy-current), buffered outputs; 4–20 mA and alarm relays available via VM-5K rack modules. |
| Communication Interfaces | Through VM-5K system interface (e.g., RS-485/Modbus via the frame, if equipped). |
| Dimensions & Weight | VM-5K plug-in module form factor (fits standard VM-5K slot; compact, lightweight). |
| Installation Method | Rack-mounted in a SHINKAWA VM-5K frame; cabinet/panel integration recommended. |
Application Fields
Typically used for continuous protection and trending on:
- Steam and gas turbines (shaft vibration and position)
- Centrifugal and reciprocating compressors
- Large motors, pumps, and blowers in chemical and refinery units
- Generator sets and balance-of-plant rotating trains
One thing I appreciate is how these cards hold steady baselines in electrically noisy environments, especially when the probes and drivers are grounded properly. A maintenance lead at a refinery told us their VM-5K cards “just sit there and work,” which, in many cases, is the best feedback you can hope for on a protection system.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability – Proven platform for continuous service with predictable alarm behavior.
- Compatibility – Works within the VM-5K ecosystem and SHINKAWA proximity probe sets, reducing integration time.
- Lifecycle cost – Rack-based spares strategy keeps downtime low and simplifies turnarounds.
- Support – Commissioning guidance, wiring references, and test procedures available on request.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet & Rack – Mount within a VM-5K frame in a ventilated control cabinet; keep ambient within 0–55 °C and avoid high-vibration panels.
- Wiring – Use shielded, twisted-pair cables for probe signals; ground shields at one end (typically the rack) to minimize loops.
- Probes – Set probe gaps per SHINKAWA guidelines; verify linear range with a micrometer at commissioning.
- Alarms – Check setpoints, time delays, and relay logic with a functional test before startup.
- Routine care – Periodic terminal re-torque, dust cleaning, and signal verification; firmware/config backups where applicable.
Quality & Certifications
- CE and RoHS compliance (typical for SHINKAWA VM-5K series hardware)
- Manufacturer quality system: ISO 9001
- Warranty: 365 days (provided by us)
If you need help matching this card to your existing VM-5K rack, share the rack configuration and probe model numbers, and I’ll check channel compatibility, alarm mapping, and any required accessory kits.
