The VEGA VB63.GXAGCTAMX is a specific configuration of the VEGAVIB 63 vibrating level switch featuring a tube extension designed for point level detection in granular and coarse-grained bulk solids. This configuration is equipped with a transistor electronics module and is certified for use in hazardous dust environments.
Technical Specification Breakdown
When deconstructing the full part number according to the manufacturer’s technical data sheets, the specific attributes are categorized below:
- Product Type: VB63 (VEGAVIB 63) – Vibrating level switch with an extension tube to specify customizable switching points.
- Approval: GX – ATEX certified for hazardous dust areas (II 1D, 1/2D, 2D Ex ta, ta/tb, tb IIIC T* Da, Da/Db, Db IP66).
- Version / Process Temperature: A – Standard version rated for temperatures from -50°C to +150°C.
- Process Fitting / Material: GC – Thread G1 (PN16, DIN3852-A) made of 316L stainless steel.
- Electronics Module: T – Transistor output (NPN/PNP) operating at 10...55 V DC.
- Housing / Protection Rating: A – Aluminum single-chamber housing rated at IP66/IP68 (0.2 bar).
- Cable Entry: M – Standard M20x1.5 connection with an included cable gland.
- Additional Equipment: X – Baseline option without extra auxiliary hardware.
Key Capabilities & Applications
- Anti-Jam Design: The concentric tube rod mechanism features a smooth surface without sharp corners or edges, preventing materials from wedging, jamming, or sticking.
- Process Versatility: Works reliably with granular bulk solids starting from a standard sensitivity density threshold of 0.1 g/cm³.
- Setup-Free Calibration: Factory pre-adjusted, meaning it does not require calibration based on medium properties upon installation.
Detailed configuration charts and user guides can be reviewed via the official VEGAVIB 63 Product Page or ordered through industrial equipment catalogs like the GEASB.
If you are ordering or servicing this device, please let GEASB know:
- What probe/tube length (L) your specific silo or vessel setup requires (e.g., standard 550mm or up to 6m)?
- Are you using it for overfill protection (Max. mode) or dry-run prevention (Min. mode)?
