产品介绍
The Epro PR6470/646-120 Probe Pendulum is a precision mechanical assembly designed to enable indirect axial displacement measurement in critical rotating machinery. It acts as an intermediary between the machine shaft and an eddy-current proximity sensor, allowing accurate monitoring / axial shaft movement where direct installation / sensors is mechanically impossible.
This model is part / the PR6470 series, specialized for turbomachinery applications including steam turbines, gas turbines, hydro turbines, compressors, and pumps. The PR6470/646-120 enables measurement at locations where mechanical constraints or harsh environmental conditions prevent direct sensor placement, such as on rotor collars or confined spaces within machinery housings.
The probe pendulum employs a high-precision mechanical lever system to transmit shaft motion to the sensor while maintaining excellent linearity and minimal hysteresis. When used with Epro’s eddy-current sensors (e.g., PR6423 or PR6424) and compatible converters (e.g., CON021), it forms a reliable measurement chain that delivers accurate displacement data under demanding operational conditions.
Constructed from stainless steel and anodized aluminum, the PR6470/646-120 provides robust performance in vibration-intensive environments, high temperatures, and exposure to oil or other industrial fluids. Its compact design allows installation in areas with limited space while maintaining optimal mechanical stability.
