Product Introduction
The Epro PR6426/000-030+CON21/916-200 is a high-precision 32mm eddy current displacement sensor designed for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, axial displacement, and position in rotating machinery. Developed by EPRO, a trusted name in industrial condition monitoring, this sensor provides outstanding signal stability and temperature resistance, ensuring accurate measurements in harsh environments such as turbines, compressors, and generators.
This model combines the PR6426 sensor head with the CON021/916-200 converter, delivering a robust and reliable system that converts the raw eddy current signal into a linear voltage output for monitoring systems. It supports continuous operation under extreme mechanical and electrical conditions, maintaining long-term calibration accuracy and linearity.
Its 32mm probe diameter provides a wider sensing range and higher tolerance for gap variations, making it suitable for applications that demand high sensitivity and durability. The unit complies with international standards for vibration monitoring and interfaces seamlessly with EPRO’s MMS6000 and MMS6800 series machinery protection systems.
