PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The EPRO PR6423/268-110 is an eddy current transducer for precise mechanical measurement. This non-contact system reliably monitors displacement and vibration on rotating machinery. Moreover, its rugged design withstands aggressive environments like oil and steam. Consequently, it provides critical data for protecting turbines, compressors, and other turbomachines.

Non-Contact Measurement Principle

This transducer operates on a contactless eddy current sensing principle. It generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field from its probe tip. Furthermore, the system measures changes in this field caused by conductive target proximity. Therefore, it delivers accurate readings without physical wear or loading on the measured part.

Key Applications in Machinery Protection

The PR6423/268-110 system excels in monitoring several critical mechanical parameters. It accurately measures radial and axial shaft positions within bearings. Additionally, the transducer detects dynamic shaft eccentricity and relative vibration. These measurements are essential for predictive maintenance and avoiding catastrophic failures.
