Product Introduction
The Epro PR6480/031-000 Eddy Current Sensor is a high-precision non-contact displacement and vibration measurement device, specifically designed for use in industrial machinery monitoring, rotating equipment diagnostics, and condition-based maintenance systems. As part of the renowned Epro PR6480 series, this sensor provides accurate real-time measurement of shaft displacement, vibration, and position in harsh industrial environments.
This model utilizes eddy current technology, which operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. By generating a high-frequency magnetic field and detecting the response from conductive surfaces, it allows precise measurement of dynamic and static changes without physical contact. The PR6480/031-000 is typically paired with Epro CON0xx converters or signal conditioners, forming a complete monitoring system for turbomachinery, compressors, pumps, turbines, and gearboxes.
Engineered for reliability, this sensor is built using robust stainless-steel housing, ensuring stable operation even under extreme temperature variations, oil mist, and mechanical vibration. It meets international standards for machine protection systems (API 670), making it suitable for integration with advanced monitoring and control platforms like Bently Nevada, HIMA, or Epro MMS systems.
