Product Introduction
The Epro PR6423/00E-030 is a high-precision, non-contact eddy current proximity sensor designed for continuous vibration and displacement monitoring in rotating machinery. With an 8 mm tip diameter and a measurement range optimized for mid-range shaft gaps and dynamic motion, the sensor is built to operate reliably under harsh industrial conditions such as high temperatures, high vibration levels, and contaminated environments.
This model belongs to Epro’s PR6423 series, well-known in turbomachinery condition monitoring. Paired typically with the CON0x1 connection units and suitable monitoring modules (such as the MMS6000 series), the sensor delivers consistent and accurate output for critical applications in power plants, petrochemical facilities, refineries, and OEM turbomachinery systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What is the sensing range of the PR6423/00E-030 sensor?
The typical linear sensing range is from 0.25 mm to 2.0 mm, optimized for mid-range shaft displacement and vibration. -
What cable length does the “-030” suffix represent?
The “-030” suffix indicates a 3-meter cable length, permanently integrated into the sensor body. -
Is this sensor compatible with Bently Nevada systems?
No, it is designed specifically for use with Epro systems (e.g., CON011, CON021, MMS6000), though signal-level adaptation may be possible with engineering. -
Can this sensor operate in high-temperature zones?
Yes, it is rated for continuous operation at up to +180°C, with a storage limit of +200°C. -
Does this sensor meet API 670 standards?
Yes, when used with the appropriate monitoring and connection modules, it can be part of an API 670-compliant system. -
How is the sensor mounted?
The sensor uses an M10 x 1.0 mounting thread. It should be installed with a recommended torque of 2.0 Nm. -
What is the typical sensitivity of this model?
Nominal sensitivity is around 7.87 mV/μm (micro-meter), depending on the system configuration. -
Is the cable field replaceable?
No, the MI cable is integrated and not replaceable in the field. Cable length must be specified at the time of ordering. -
Does it require external signal conditioning?
