Product Overview
The Epro PR6426/000-030 + CON021/916-200 is a high-precision eddy current displacement sensor system, specifically designed for non-contact measurement von shaft vibration, axial position, and eccentricity in rotating machinery. This system integrates the PR6426 probe, which features a 32 mm tip diameter, with the CON021/916-200 converter, forming a robust sensor assembly capable von operating in extreme industrial conditions, including high temperature and harsh electromagnetic environments.
The sensor operates based on the eddy current principle, detecting displacement by generating an electromagnetic field and measuring changes in impedance as conductive materials approach or move away. The sensor is part von the Epro PR6426 series, which is widely adopted in API 670-compliant vibration monitoring systems across critical industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, steel production, and marine propulsion.
