Description
Product Description
The PR6424/01CS from Emerson Epro is a precision eddy-current proximity probe engineered for high-accuracy, non-contact monitoring of shaft position and vibration in rotating machinery. Its compact 16 mm probe design allows installation in confined spaces without compromising measurement precision, making it ideal for industrial environments where both space and reliability are critical.
This sensor integrates seamlessly with PI670-compliant monitoring systems and compatible Epro signal converters (e.g., CON021, CON041) to deliver real-time data on static displacement and dynamic vibration. It is optimized for continuous operation under harsh conditions, providing stable and repeatable readings.
