EPRO CON021 + PR6423/003-030 Eddy Current Sensor

Description

TheEPRO CON021is aprecision signal converterdeveloped byEmerson(formerlyEPRO) for use with thePR642x series non-contact eddy current sensors. It converts theraw analog signalsfrom the probes into standardized output signals (such as4-20 mAor0-10 V DC), allowing for seamless integration withcontrol systems,protection relays, andcondition monitoring platforms. This converter is deployed across various critical applications such assteamandgas turbines,hydroelectric generators, andindustrial compressors, where accurateshaft displacementandvibrationmeasurements are essential forpredictive maintenanceandmachine protection. Its high-frequency range and fast response time make it ideal fordynamic fault detectionandhigh-speed applications. TheCON021is built with arugged design,wide operating temperature range, and anIP65-rated enclosure, ensuring reliable performance inharsh industrial environments. Furthermore, it is compatible with a wide range of sensor models, includingPR6422,PR6423,PR6424,PR6425,PR6426, andPR6453, making it highly flexible and suitable for various asset types. TheEPRO PR6423/003-030is a high-precisioneddy current sensordesigned forcondition monitoringin demandingturbomachineryapplications. Part ofEmerson’s AMS suite, this sensor is engineered to measureradial displacement,vibration, andshaft positionwith great accuracy, making it ideal for use insteam turbines,gas compressors,hydroelectric generators, and other high-speed rotating equipment. Paired with theCON021 signal converter, thePR6423/003-030delivers real-time data and seamlessly integrates withindustrial monitoring systems. Itsrugged stainless steel housingandIP68 protectionensure reliable operation in harsh environments, including high-temperature and high-vibration settings. With its highsensitivityandwide operating temperature range, this sensor is well-suited forpredictive maintenanceand helps reduce unplanned downtime. This sensor is designed forcontinuous operationinhigh-speed rotating machineryand can withstand harsh conditions such asvibrationandtemperature extremes. Steam and Gas Turbines: Monitorsshaft displacementandvibrationfor early fault detection, preventing catastrophic failures and downtime. Compressors and Pumps: Tracksdynamic displacementto identify issues likeimbalance,misalignment, andbearing wear, ensuring reliable operation.
