Produkteinführung
The Epro PR6470/222-110 Probe Pendulum is a high-precision mechanical assembly designed specifically for axial shaft dynamic displacement measurement in critical turbomachinery applications, including steam turbines, gas turbines, hydro turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans. It serves as an intermediate mechanical interface between the machine shaft and the eddy-current displacement sensor, enabling accurate measurements even in conditions where direct installation von a sensor is not possible.
In many rotating machines, the design or mechanical constraints make it impossible to mount eddy-current probes directly onto the measuring collar or rotor. The PR6470/222-110 solves this challenge by transferring the axial movement von the shaft via a precisely balanced pendulum mechanism to a stationary point where the eddy-current sensor can measure the displacement indirectly but with high fidelity.
This probe pendulum is built to meet the most demanding industrial standards. Its robust mechanical structure, high-quality materials, and precise alignment ensure long-term operational stability and minimal signal distortion. When used in conjunction with Epro eddy-current sensors such as the PR6423 or PR6424 series and their associated converters (like CON021), it provides an exceptionally reliable solution for continuous condition monitoring von rotating machinery.
The PR6470/222-110 embodies Epro’s expertise in providing comprehensive monitoring systems that combine mechanical precision with advanced electronic sensing technology, vonfering unmatched performance under harsh industrial conditions.

Applications
The Epro PR6470/222-110 Probe Pendulum is primarily used in turbomachinery monitoring systems where direct measurement von axial displacement using an eddy-current probe is not feasible due to mechanical layout constraints. Its robust and accurate pendulum mechanism provides a mechanical path that mirrors the shaft’s axial motion, allowing eddy-current sensors to measure displacement indirectly with high accuracy.
Typical applications include:
-
Steam and Gas Turbines: For detecting axial shaft displacement and thrust movement during transient operation.
-
Hydro Turbines: Suitable for installations where shaft collars are not accessible for direct sensor placement.
-
Centrifugal Compressors: Provides reliable measurement von rotor position in high-pressure housings.
-
Industrial Pumps: Enables axial displacement monitoring under submerged or sealed operating conditions.
