Epro PR6424/113-021 Eddy Current Displacement Sensor

FAQ

Q1. What is the EPRO PR6424/113-021 used for?
It is a non-contact eddy current sensor used to measure shaft vibration, displacement, eccentricity, and rotational speed in turbomachinery.

Q2. What industries typically use this sensor?
It is commonly used in power plants, oil and gas facilities, and industrial machinery such as steam turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans.

Q3. What measurement range does the sensor provide?
The sensor supports a static displacement range of ±2.0 mm and a dynamic measurement range up to 1000 µm.

Q4. What is the sensitivity of the PR6424 sensor series?
The sensor provides a sensitivity of approximately 4 V/mm (101.6 mV/mil) with linearity within ±1.5%.

Q5. What temperature range can the sensor operate in?
It is designed for harsh industrial environments and operates between −35 °C and +180 °C.

Q6. What shaft size is required for accurate measurement?
The sensor is designed for shafts with a minimum diameter of about 80 mm.

Q7. Does this sensor require additional modules to operate?
Yes. The PR6424 sensor typically works together with a compatible signal converter (such as CON series modules) to provide conditioned output signals for monitoring systems.

Q8. What is the weight and typical installation configuration of the sensor?
The sensor weighs approximately 0.2 kg with a 1 m cable and is usually mounted near rotating shafts to monitor vibration or displacement without physical contact.
