Product Introduction
The Epro PR6424/010-140 16mm Eddy Current Sensor is a precision non-contact displacement and vibration measurement probe designed for high-performance industrial machinery monitoring. Part of the PR6424 series, this sensor is engineered to provide accurate, reliable, and stable readings in demanding environments such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators.
With a 16 mm sensor head diameter, the PR6424/010-140 offers excellent linearity and high sensitivity, even under harsh conditions including vibration, high temperature, and electromagnetic interference. When paired with Epro CON-series drivers (CON021, CON031, CON041), the sensor provides a stable, conditioned output suitable for machine protection systems and predictive maintenance platforms. This model is particularly suitable for applications requiring extended measurement range and high precision.
