Product Introduction
The Epro PR6424/005-030 is a 16mm eddy current sensor designed for precise and non-contact measurement of displacement, position, and vibration in industrial applications. Using eddy current technology, the sensor detects the changes in impedance in its sensor coil caused by the proximity of conductive materials. These changes are then translated into electrical signals that provide highly accurate measurements of the target’s movement or position.
This sensor is suitable for applications in high-speed machinery, vibration monitoring, and position sensing in automated and robotic systems. Its compact 16mm sensor head and lightweight design (0.2 kg) make it ideal for installations where space is limited, and precision is critical. The IP67 protection rating ensures that the sensor is dustproof and water-resistant, making it reliable for use in harsh environments.
The PR6424/005-030 offers both analog voltage and current outputs, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial systems. This versatility ensures that the sensor can be easily integrated into existing equipment for real-time monitoring and control.
