Key Applications for Turbomachinery Monitoring

This versatile epro transducer monitors critical mechanical parameters on rotating equipment. Consequently, it helps prevent unplanned downtime and extend asset life in power generation, oil & gas, and manufacturing.

• Measuring radial and axial shaft displacements with micron-level accuracy.

• Monitoring vibration levels of rotors, blades, and other key components.

• Tracking thrust bearing position and detecting wear over time proactively.

• Observing dynamic motion, including shaft eccentricity and runout, in real-time.

• Measuring critical clearances between rotating and static parts safely.

• Detecting deformation or bending in shafts and casings during operation.

Integration and System Benefits

Integrating the PR6423/119-110 into your monitoring framework is straightforward. The transducer connects directly to compatible epro evaluation electronics, such as the MMS6000 or PR935x series monitors. These systems then process the raw signal into actionable data for control systems. Moreover, the non-contact principle eliminates sensor wear, ensuring long-term stability and reducing lifecycle costs.

The transducer’s high temperature rating allows installation close to heat sources. This proximity provides more accurate readings of actual machine behavior. Additionally, the IP67 rating guarantees reliable performance despite oil mist, moisture, and airborne contaminants.
