Product Introduction
Epro PR6424/000-130+CON021 Eddy Current Sensor is a high-performance non-contact displacement sensor designed for precision vibration and position monitoring of rotating machinery. This sensor is commonly used in critical machinery monitoring applications such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors, especially in petrochemical and power generation industries. It operates on the eddy current principle, enabling it to provide accurate and reliable proximity and displacement measurements, even in harsh industrial environments.
The PR6424/000-130 variant is specifically designed with a 16mm probe tip, optimized for larger shaft diameters and applications requiring a greater sensing range. Paired with the CON021 connection module, it forms a complete measurement chain, ensuring accurate signal transmission and system integration.
