Product Introduction
The Epro CON021/914-100+PR6423/010-010-CN is a precision 8mm eddy current sensor used for non-contact displacement and position measurement in a wide range of industrial applications. This sensor utilizes the principle of eddy current sensing to detect the position of metallic objects without requiring physical contact, offering high accuracy and reliability in harsh environments.
Designed with an 8mm diameter sensing head, the CON021/914-100 provides a high-resolution output, making it ideal for measuring small displacements and detecting minute changes in position. It is commonly used in applications such as rotor position monitoring, vibration analysis, and measuring gaps in industrial machinery. This sensor is especially useful in applications requiring high-speed, non-contact measurements for safety-critical systems where physical contact might lead to wear or inaccuracies.
The PR6423/010-010-CN signal conditioner is used in conjunction with the sensor to convert the eddy current signals into a usable output for further processing and control. Together, the sensor and signal conditioner offer a highly integrated, reliable solution for precision measurement in industrial automation systems.
