Product Introduction
The EPRO PR6426/00 Eddy Current Sensor is a high-precision, non-contact measurement device designed for industrial machinery condition monitoring. As part of the PR6426 series, this sensor is optimized for tracking shaft displacement, vibration, and position in critical rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and generators.
The sensor uses the eddy current principle, generating an electromagnetic field and measuring the change in impedance caused by the proximity of a conductive target. This allows for accurate, real-time measurement without physical contact, reducing wear and ensuring long-term stability. Its rugged stainless-steel housing and advanced electromagnetic shielding enable reliable operation even in harsh industrial environments with high vibration, temperature variations, and electromagnetic interference.
The PR6426/00 sensor is compatible with EPRO CON011 and CON021 transducer drivers and integrates seamlessly with MMS3000 and MMS6000 monitoring systems, providing continuous, high-fidelity vibration and displacement data for predictive maintenance and operational safety.
