Product Introduction
The Epro PR6423/010-030+CON021 is a high-performance, non-contact eddy current sensor system, designed specifically for measuring shaft displacement, vibration, and axial position in rotating machinery. It is part of Epro’s PR6423 series, known for precision, ruggedness, and reliability in harsh industrial environments.
This 8mm sensor works on the eddy current principle, enabling real-time detection of dynamic or static proximity changes in metallic surfaces. The included CON021 connector module provides a secure and durable interface for wiring and signal processing.
Ideal for predictive maintenance and machine health monitoring applications, this sensor delivers consistent accuracy even under extreme operating temperatures and mechanical stress. Its compact form factor, integrated shielding, and corrosion-resistant stainless-steel body make it a go-to solution for demanding industries such as oil and gas, power generation, petrochemicals, and heavy manufacturing.
