Product Introduction
The Epro PR6423/005-010-CN is an 8 mm eddy current sensor designed for precise measurement of position, displacement, and vibration in industrial applications. This sensor is engineered to provide high-resolution detection of conductive materials without physical contact, making it ideal for rotating machinery, turbines, motors, and other critical equipment monitoring.
The sensor operates on the eddy current principle, generating a magnetic field that induces currents in nearby conductive surfaces. Variations in these currents are detected and converted into an accurate electrical output proportional to the displacement of the target. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments, including high temperatures, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.
The PR6423 series is widely used in predictive maintenance, machinery diagnostics, and process control applications, offering precise, repeatable, and non-contact measurement capabilities.
