Overview

The EPR0 CON021 + PR6423/10R-111 is a precision-engineered non-contact eddy current sensor system designed for continuous monitoring of shaft vibration, displacement, and position in rotating machinery. It combines the PR6423 probe with the CON021 converter to deliver accurate, real-time data for predictive maintenance and machine protection.

This system is commonly used in gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, and gearboxes, where reliability and fast response are essential. The non-contact nature of the sensor reduces wear and extends service life, making it a reliable choice for critical applications. Its rugged design and high-frequency response enable its use in harsh and hazardous environments.

The system integrates seamlessly with condition monitoring platforms and supports international safety certifications such as CE, UL, ATEX, and IECEx, making it suitable for use in explosive or hazardous zones.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

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

• Compressors and Pumps: Tracks misalignment, imbalance, and bearing wear in high-speed equipment.

• Gearboxes and Drives: Measures gear mesh vibration and shaft movement under dynamic loads.

• Predictive Maintenance Systems: Enables trend analysis and real-time diagnostics for rotating machinery.

• Hazardous Industrial Zones: Certified for use in explosive atmospheres and high-temperature environments.

Example: In power plants, this system is used to monitor turbine shafts, preventing unplanned outages and ensuring continuous operation. Its non-contact design reduces mechanical wear and improves long-term reliability.
