Product Introduction
The Epro PR9350/02 is a rugged, industrial-grade inductive sensor developed for non-contact measurement of metallic targets, primarily used in rotating machinery monitoring systems. As part of Epro’s broader vibration and displacement sensing portfolio, the PR9350/02 is tailored for detecting the presence or position of machine shafts or rotating components, often used in combination with signal conditioners or protection systems like the MMS6000 or MMS3120 series.
This model is known for its robust mechanical construction, high reliability in electromagnetically noisy environments, and excellent repeatability. Its design is particularly well-suited for applications in power generation, petrochemical processing, and heavy machinery, where long-term stability and immunity to harsh conditions are essential.
