Product Introduction
The Epro PR6426/010-000+CON021/916-120 32mm Eddy Current Sensor is a precision non-contact measurement sensor designed for monitoring displacement, vibration, and shaft position in rotating and reciprocating machinery. This model combines the PR6426 series probe with the CON021 converter module, forming a complete transducer system that delivers accurate, stable, and noise-resistant signals.
Based on the eddy current measurement principle, this sensor system detects the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target surface with high accuracy. It is widely used in machinery protection systems for turbines, compressors, motors, and pumps. Its 32 mm probe head ensures enhanced sensitivity and robust signal stability even in harsh industrial environments characterized by high temperature, vibration, and contamination.
The included CON021/916-120 converter ensures proper signal conditioning and scaling, providing a linear voltage output compatible with standard monitoring systems. This combination is engineered for long-term reliability, precision, and easy integration with condition monitoring platforms such as the Epro MMS system or Bently Nevada monitoring racks.
