Epro PR6424/111-121 16mm Eddy Current Sensor

The Epro PR6424/111-121 is a 16mm eddy current sensor designed to provide precise, non-contact measurement of displacement, vibration, and position. This high-performance sensor is based on eddy current technology, where an oscillating magnetic field induces eddy currents in the target material. The sensor detects variations in these currents, which are proportional to the distance between the sensor and the target, allowing for highly accurate measurements of position or displacement.

Ideal for condition monitoring, vibration analysis, displacement measurement, and position sensing, the PR6424/111-121 is commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, power generation, and manufacturing. Its robust design and non-contact measurement capabilities make it perfect for high-speed and high-precision applications where traditional contact-based sensors are not viable.
