Epro CON021+PR6424/002-030 16mm Eddy Current Sensor

Product Introduction

The Epro CON021 + PR6424/002-030 is a high-performance eddy current sensor system designed for non-contact displacement, vibration, and axial position measurement in industrial rotating machinery. The system consists of the PR6424/002-030 probe, which has a 16 mm sensor tip, and the CON021 converter, which processes the signal and outputs a conditioned voltage compatible with industry-standard monitoring equipment.

This sensor pair is part of the Epro PR6424 series, widely used in critical applications such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. It is optimized for precise gap measurements and reliable operation in high-temperature and high-vibration environments. The CON021 module ensures excellent linearity, temperature compensation, and compatibility with systems like the VM600, MMS6000, and other condition monitoring platforms.
