Epro PR6424/006-131+CON041 16mm Eddy Current Sensor

Product Introduction

The Epro PR6424/006-131+CON041 Eddy Current Sensor is a high-precision non-contact vibration and displacement sensor specifically developed for monitoring critical rotating machinery. With a 16 mm sensor head diameter and a robust stainless-steel body, this sensor provides reliable measurements in demanding environments such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors.

The sensor works together with the CON041 converter, which enhances signal conditioning, improves linearity, and provides additional diagnostic functions compared to earlier converter generations. This combination makes it highly effective for use in modern machinery protection and condition monitoring systems, ensuring accurate detection of shaft displacement, rotor vibration, and bearing condition.
