PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The EPRO PR6424/010-030 is a specialized eddy current sensor for industrial measurement. This device provides precise non-contact monitoring of vibration and displacement. Moreover, its compact and robust design excels in demanding turbomachinery environments. Consequently, it delivers critical data for protecting assets like turbines, compressors, and large pumps.

Reliable Non-Contact Sensing Technology

This sensor operates on a proven eddy current principle for accurate gap detection. It measures the distance to a conductive target without any physical contact. Furthermore, the system generates a linear electrical signal proportional to this distance. Therefore, you obtain stable readings for position, vibration amplitude, and shaft runout.

Compact and Durable Industrial Construction

The PR6424/010-030 features a compact probe design for installation in tight spaces. It withstands high temperatures, pressure, and exposure to oil or steam. Additionally, the sensor’s integrated cable is resistant to mechanical stress and chemical degradation. This durability ensures reliable long-term performance in critical condition monitoring systems.
