Design and Functional Overview

This sensor operates on the established eddy current principle for precise non-contact measurement. The probe tip generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field during operation. This field then interacts with any nearby conductive target material, such as a shaft. Subsequently, the connected monitoring system detects changes in the field’s energy, which correlate directly to distance.

Furthermore, the very short 100mm integrated cable suits installations where space is extremely limited. The robust, sealed stainless steel housing protects the internal coil from moisture and contaminants. Additionally, the sensor contains no internal batteries or energy storage components. It draws all required operating power directly from its paired EPRO monitor, ensuring simple and maintenance-free operation over many years.
