Technical Specifications

How It Works

The EPRO PR6423/118-110 operates using the eddy current principle. It generates an electromagnetic field that interacts with the target material, typically ferromagnetic steel. As the distance between the sensor and the target changes, the amplitude of the oscillation changes as well. This change is then converted into an electrical signal, which is used to determine the displacement or vibration.

Additionally, the sensor operates in conjunction with a signal converter to form an oscillator circuit. This system provides highly accurate and real-time measurements, ideal for monitoring dynamic movements in industrial machinery.

Moreover, the EPRO PR6423/118-110 comes pre-calibrated, which eliminates the need for on-site calibration. Simply adjust the gap between the sensor and the target to get accurate readings, making installation quick and easy.

Conclusion

To sum up, the EPRO PR6423/118-110 is a high-performance eddy current sensor designed for precision measurement in critical industrial applications. Its robust construction, broad operating temperature range, and ease of integration make it ideal for use in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other rotating machinery. With its non-contact measurement technology and reliable performance, this sensor helps ensure the optimal operation of your machinery while minimizing downtime.
