Emerson EPRO PR6424/013-130+CON021 Eddy Current Displacement Measurement System Product Description
Product Overview
Emerson EPRO PR6424/013-130+CON021 is a high-precision eddy current displacement measurement system designed for critical rotating machinery condition monitoring applications. The complete system consists of an EPRO PR6424 series 16 mm eddy current sensor and a CON021 signal converter, providing accurate non-contact measurement of shaft displacement, vibration, axial position, eccentricity, and rotational speed/key parameters. The Emerson EPRO PR6424/013-130+CON021 system is widely used in turbine machinery, compressors, pumps, generators, and other high-value rotating equipment where continuous monitoring and early fault detection are essential.
The Emerson EPRO PR6424/013-130+CON021 belongs to the EPRO PR642 series of eddy current measurement solutions, which are designed specifically for turbomachinery protection and machinery health monitoring. The PR6424 sensor uses a non-contact eddy current measurement principle to detect changes in the distance between the probe tip and the conductive shaft surface, while the CON021 converter converts the sensor signal into a standardized voltage output for connection to monitoring systems such as EPRO MMS6000/MMS7000 platforms, turbine protection systems, and industrial condition monitoring equipment.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, Emerson EPRO PR6424/013-130+CON021 provides excellent dynamic response, high measurement stability, and compatibility with safety-critical machinery applications. The sensor system is especially suitable for large shaft diameter equipment where accurate radial and axial displacement monitoring is required. By providing continuous real-time mechanical condition information, Emerson EPRO PR6424/013-130+CON021 helps operators improve equipment reliability, prevent unexpected shutdowns, and optimize maintenance strategies.
