Epro PR6480/051-100 Eddy Current Displacement Sensor

FAQ

Q1. What is the primary application of the PR6480/051-100 sensor?
It is mainly used to measure shaft vibration, displacement, and position in rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Q2. What sensing technology does this device use?
The sensor uses eddy current technology to measure the distance between the probe and a conductive target without physical contact.

Q3. What industries typically use this sensor?
It is widely used in power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical plants, and heavy industrial automation systems.

Q4. What is the operating temperature range?
The device can operate reliably between -30°C and 100°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Q5. How fast does the sensor respond to changes?
It has a rise time of less than 15 microseconds, enabling fast response for dynamic measurement applications.

Q6. What type of electrical connection does the sensor use?
The sensor typically uses a self-locking Lemo connector for the transducer connection and screw terminals for power and signal wiring.

Q7. Is the sensor suitable for non-contact measurement?
Yes. The eddy current measurement principle allows accurate readings without touching the target surface.

Q8. What systems is the PR6480 series compatible with?
It is commonly integrated with machinery monitoring systems such as industrial vibration monitoring and protection systems.
