Product Introduction
The Epro PR6424/010-120 16mm Eddy Current Sensor is a high-precision proximity probe designed to provide reliable and accurate displacement and vibration measurements in rotating machinery. Part of the well-established PR6424 series, this sensor is optimized for industrial condition monitoring, machine protection, and predictive maintenance applications.
With a 16 mm sensor head diameter, the PR6424/010-120 delivers consistent and repeatable readings in harsh operating environments, including high temperatures, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. When paired with Epro CON-series drivers (CON021, CON031, CON041), it provides stable linear outputs for integration with monitoring systems. It is widely used in turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators to enhance system reliability and prevent unscheduled downtime.
