The Epro PR6424/114-021 is a 16mm eddy current sensor designed for highly accurate, non-contact measurement of displacement, vibration, and position in industrial applications. It operates based on the eddy current principle, which allows the sensor to measure the distance to a conductive target without physical contact. This makes it ideal for applications where traditional mechanical sensors would wear out or fail due to the need for direct contact with the target.

The PR6424/114-021 is particularly effective in high-speed and high-precision applications, ensuring excellent performance in both dynamic and static measurements. With a 16mm diameter probe, it is compact and can be integrated into confined spaces or tight setups where larger sensors may not fit.
