Applications
The CON021+PR6424/013-030 is engineered for demanding environments where reliable measurement of shaft dynamics is critical. Typical applications include:
FAQ
Q: Can this sensor measure on non-ferromagnetic shafts?
A: The sensor is optimized for ferromagnetic materials. For non-ferromagnetic targets, alternative models or adapters may be required.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for reliable readings?
A: The integrated coaxial cable is 3 meters. Longer distances may require signal conditioning.
Q: How does this model compare to CON021+PR6424/013-025?
A: Both share similar dynamic measurement ranges, but the /013-030 version supports slightly higher pressure and temperature tolerances, making it suitable for more demanding industrial applications.
