EPRO PR6423/008-110 Product Description
Product Overview
EPRO PR6423/008-110 is a high-precision 8 mm eddy current displacement sensor developed by EPRO (now part of Emerson’s machinery health monitoring portfolio) for non-contact measurement of rotating machinery shaft displacement, vibration, position, and eccentricity. As a core sensor component of the EPRO MMS 3000 and MMS 6000 machinery protection and monitoring systems, EPRO PR6423/008-110 is designed for critical turbomachinery applications requiring continuous and accurate condition monitoring.
The EPRO PR6423/008-110 operates based on the eddy current measurement principle, generating a proportional electrical signal according to the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target surface. This contactless measurement technology eliminates mechanical wear and allows stable operation under high-speed rotation, high temperature, oil contamination, and vibration conditions. The sensor is widely used for monitoring radial shaft vibration, axial displacement, shaft eccentricity, thrust bearing movement, and other dynamic parameters of rotating equipment.
As part of the EPRO PR6423 series, EPRO PR6423/008-110 provides a nominal 8 mm probe diameter and ±1 mm static measurement capability, offering an optimized solution for medium-size rotating shafts. When combined with compatible signal converters such as EPRO CON021 or EPRO CON041, the sensor forms a complete vibration and displacement measurement chain for integration with DCS, PLC, SCADA, and dedicated machinery protection systems.
