Epro PR9600/011-000 Eddy Current Sensor

Product Introduction

The Epro PR9600/011-000 Eddy Current Sensor is a high-precision, non-contact displacement and vibration measurement sensor designed for industrial machinery condition monitoring and protection. As part of Epro’s renowned PR9600 series, it is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and accuracy in detecting shaft displacement, vibration, and eccentricity across a wide range of rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and motors.

Operating based on the eddy current principle, this sensor measures the change in distance between its sensing head and the conductive target surface. The resulting signal is proportional to the displacement or vibration amplitude, enabling accurate and real-time condition monitoring. Built with a rugged stainless steel housing and high-temperature resistance, the PR9600/011-000 provides reliable operation even in harsh industrial environments where oil, dust, and electromagnetic interference are common.

FAQ

1. What is the working principle of the PR9600/011-000 sensor?
   It operates on the eddy current principle, detecting displacement or vibration by measuring changes in induced current caused by target proximity variations.

2. What type of targets can this sensor measure?
   The sensor is suitable for conductive targets, including steel, aluminum, and other metal surfaces.

3. Does the sensor require external power?
   Power is supplied through the compatible proximitor module, such as Epro CON021, rather than directly to the probe.

4. What is the typical sensitivity of the PR9600/011-000?
   The nominal sensitivity is approximately 8.0 mV/μm, ensuring precise measurement across the full range.

5. Can this sensor measure both static and dynamic displacements?
   Yes, it can measure both static (DC) and dynamic (AC) displacement components, making it suitable for vibration and position monitoring.

6. Is the PR9600/011-000 compatible with Bently Nevada proximitor systems?
   While primarily designed for Epro modules, it can be integrated with other systems using equivalent proximitor signal conditioning.

7. What is the recommended mounting configuration for accurate results?
   The sensor should be mounted securely with proper grounding and minimal cable bending to ensure signal integrity.

8. How does temperature variation affect the measurement accuracy?
   The sensor maintains stability within ±1% full-scale linearity over its entire temperature range, with minimal thermal drift.

9. Can it be used in high-vibration environments such as turbines?
   Yes, the PR9600/011-000 is vibration-resistant up to 50 g and shock-resistant to 500 g, suitable for heavy industrial machinery.

10. What signal output does the sensor provide?
    It provides a voltage output proportional to displacement, transmitted to a proximitor module for processing and monitoring.
