Epro PR6424/013-130 16mm Eddy Current Sensor

The Epro PR6424/013-130 is a high-precision, non-contact eddy current sensor used for measuring the vibration and axial displacement of rotating machinery. This 16mm proximity probe is a critical component of the Epro PR6424 series, engineered for deployment in industrial environments such as power plants, refineries, and chemical processing units.

The PR6424/013-130 is designed to function with companion converter modules such as CON021 or CON041, delivering a stable, linear output across a defined measurement range. Built to withstand high temperatures, mechanical stress, and electromagnetic interference, the sensor ensures reliable monitoring and protection of critical rotating assets.

FAQ

1. Which converter modules are compatible with the PR6424/013-130 sensor?

   The sensor is designed to be used with Epro CON021 or CON041 converter modules.

2. Can I extend or shorten the factory cable length?

   No, the cable and converter are calibrated as a matched pair; altering the cable length invalidates calibration.

3. What is the output voltage signal range?

   The system outputs an analog voltage, typically 0–20 VDC, depending on the CON module.

4. Is this sensor suitable for high-speed rotating machinery?

   Yes, with a 10 kHz frequency response, it is well-suited for high-speed shaft monitoring.

5. Can this sensor operate in oil-lubricated or contaminated environments?

   Yes, it features a robust stainless steel housing and is sealed to IP65/IP67 ratings.

6. Does the sensor support integration with third-party monitoring systems?

   Yes, as long as the output signal from the converter matches the input requirements of the system.

7. What is the effect of temperature variation on sensor accuracy?

   The system is temperature-compensated and remains stable within the specified operating range.

8. Is the sensor protected against reverse polarity?

   Protection is handled by the converter module, not the sensor head itself.

9. Can it be used for axial as well as radial measurements?

   Yes, depending on the orientation of installation, it supports both types.

10. How is linearity affected by mounting distance?

    Mounting distance is critical. Deviation from factory-recommended gap can affect linearity and sensitivity.
