Product Description
The Epro PR6424/003-030 is a 16mm eddy current sensor engineered for non-contact vibration, displacement, and position monitoring of rotating machinery. Developed by Epro, now under Emerson’s AMS product line, this sensor is widely deployed in industrial environments where high accuracy and robustness are crucial — including turbines, compressors, pumps, and large fans.
The PR6424 series sensors interface with CON and CON041 signal converters, allowing precise measurements of shaft dynamic displacement, position, eccentricity, and rotational speed. The model PR6424/003-030 features a rugged stainless-steel construction, high-pressure resistance, and wide temperature operating ranges, making it suitable for hazardous and demanding applications.
