Overview

The PR6423/002-030 is part of Emerson’s AMS suite and is engineered for demanding industrial applications. It uses eddy current technology to measure the distance between the sensor tip and the shaft surface, enabling accurate detection of radial and axial movement, vibration, and shaft position.

Moreover, this sensor is optimized for use with the CON021 signal converter, forming a complete system for continuous condition monitoring. In addition, its rugged stainless steel housing and IP68 protection rating ensure reliable performance in high-temperature and high-vibration environments.

Therefore, the PR6423/002-030 is trusted by professionals in power generation, petrochemical, and heavy manufacturing sectors for predictive maintenance and machinery protection.

Technical Data

In addition, the sensor maintains linearity and accuracy across a wide temperature range and supports high-speed signal processing.

Typical Applications

• Steam and Gas Turbines: Monitors shaft movement and vibration for early fault detection.

• Compressors and Pumps: Tracks dynamic displacement to prevent mechanical failure.

• Gearboxes and Fans: Detects misalignment and eccentricity in rotating components.

• Hydroelectric Equipment: Ensures safe operation under variable load conditions.

For instance, in a refinery setting, the PR6423/002-030 helps identify imbalance and misalignment before they escalate into costly downtime.

Moreover, its integration with CON021 allows seamless data acquisition and compatibility with plant-wide monitoring systems.
