Epro PR6424/000-000 16mm Eddy Current Sensor

Product Introduction

The Epro PR6424/000-000 Eddy Current Sensor is a highly reliable, non-contact proximity probe designed for precise vibration and displacement measurement in rotating machinery. With a 16 mm sensor head diameter, this model is part of Epro’s advanced PR6424 series, which has been developed for use in demanding industrial environments such as power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, and heavy machinery applications.

The sensor works on the principle of eddy currents, allowing accurate detection of shaft displacement, rotor dynamics, and bearing conditions without mechanical contact. This ensures both high sensitivity and long-term durability, even under harsh conditions. Combined with a CON0xx converter, the PR6424/000-000 delivers high-fidelity signals for integration into machinery protection systems and condition monitoring platforms.
