Design Features and Application

This sensor operates on the proven eddy current principle for accurate measurement. Its probe generates a controlled electromagnetic field at the tip. A conductive target then interacts with this field during operation. Subsequently, the connected monitoring system analyzes the resulting change in the circuit. This analysis provides a stable voltage signal that is proportional to the distance to the target.

Furthermore, the very short integrated cable suits installations with severe space constraints. The robust, sealed housing protects the internal coil from environmental contaminants. Additionally, the design requires no internal power source or energy storage. It operates entirely from the excitation provided by its compatible EPRO monitor, ensuring maintenance-free and drift-resistant performance for long-term monitoring.
