FAQ
-
How does the PR6424/000-121 sensor detect shaft displacement?
It measures changes in impedance caused by the conductive shaft’s movement relative to the probe, producing a proportional voltage output. -
Can this sensor measure both displacement and vibration simultaneously?
Yes, dynamic vibration and static displacement signals can both be measured depending on the connected monitoring system. -
What type of output does the sensor provide?
It provides a voltage output proportional to displacement, which can be processed by Epro converters or driver modules. -
Is it compatible with other Epro driver modules?
Yes, but maximum accuracy and linearity are achieved when paired with recommended Epro drivers or converters. -
What is the sensor’s frequency response?
Up to 10 kHz, making it suitable for high-speed rotating machinery monitoring. -
How does temperature affect sensor accuracy?
The sensor maintains stable performance and linearity across its rated operating temperature range of -35°C to +180°C. -
Can the sensor function in high-vibration environments?
Yes, it is designed to operate reliably even in vibration-intensive industrial machinery. -
Is cable shielding required for noise protection?
The coaxial cable includes shielding; proper grounding is recommended to prevent interference. -
