Epro PR6480/001-000 Eddy current non‑contact displacement/vibration proximity probe

FAQ

Q1: What is the PR6480/001‑000 sensor used for?
It is a compact eddy current proximity probe designed to measure shaft or journal displacement and vibration in bearing housings.

Q2: What measurement principle does this sensor use?
It uses eddy current technology to detect changes in distance between the probe tip and a conductive metal surface without physical contact.

Q3: What size is the probe head?
The probe head is 10 mm in diameter, suitable for mounting in tight bearing housings.

Q4: What is the typical measurement range of this probe?
The sensor provides a measurement range of approximately ±1.0 mm around the nominal air gap.

Q5: What materials can this sensor effectively measure?
It works best with conductive ferromagnetic materials such as hardened steel shafts and journal surfaces.

Q6: What temperature conditions can the PR6480/001‑000 tolerate?
The sensor typically operates from about −40 °C up to +180 °C, suitable for most industrial bearing environments.

Q7: Is a signal converter required to use this sensor?
Yes — to condition and scale the raw probe output, it is normally used with a compatible eddy current signal converter.

Q8: What applications is this sensor suitable for?
Typical uses include vibration, shaft position, and bearing condition monitoring in motors, gearboxes, turbines, compressors, and rotating equipment.
