The Epro PR6424/113-000 is a 16mm eddy current sensor designed to provide precise, non-contact measurement of displacement, vibration, and position within high-performance industrial applications. It operates based on the principle of eddy current technology, where an oscillating magnetic field induces eddy currents in the target material. The sensor then detects variations in these currents, which are proportional to the distance between the sensor and the target.

This sensor is widely used in applications requiring high accuracy, such as machine condition monitoring, vibration analysis, displacement measurement, and position sensing in industries like power generation, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. The PR6424/113-000 provides high resolution, high frequency response, and robust performance in demanding environments, making it an ideal choice for both static and dynamic measurements.
