Product Overview
The Epro PR6423/004-030 Eddy Current Sensor is an 8mm non-contact displacement measurement probe designed for rotating machinery condition monitoring applications. It belongs to the Epro PR6423 series and is mainly used for detecting shaft displacement, radial vibration, and relative movement between rotating components and the sensor tip.
In industrial rotating equipment, accurate shaft movement measurement is essential for identifying mechanical conditions such as excessive vibration, rotor instability, and abnormal displacement. The PR6423/004-030 uses eddy current technology to provide continuous measurement without direct contact with the monitored surface.
The sensor operates by detecting changes in the electromagnetic field generated near a conductive target. This measurement method allows the probe to work reliably on high-speed machinery where traditional contact-based measurement methods are not suitable.
The PR6423/004-030 is typically integrated with compatible Epro signal converters and machinery monitoring systems to provide displacement information for protection, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance applications.

Working Principle
The PR6423/004-030 operates based on eddy current displacement measurement technology.
A simplified signal path is:
Rotating Shaft → PR6423 Eddy Current Sensor → Signal Converter → Monitoring System → Protection / Analysis Function
The sensor generates an electromagnetic field around the probe tip. When the distance between the sensor and the conductive shaft surface changes, the eddy current response changes accordingly.
The sensor electronics convert these changes into an electrical signal representing the relative displacement between the probe and the monitored target. After signal conditioning, the measurement data can be used by monitoring systems for vibration analysis, shaft position monitoring, and machinery protection.
Because the measurement process does not require physical contact, the sensor avoids mechanical wear and can operate continuously on rotating equipment.
Role in Machinery Condition Monitoring Architecture
The PR6423/004-030 acts as the sensing element within a rotating machinery monitoring system.
A typical architecture is:
Rotating Equipment → Eddy Current Sensor → Signal Processing Unit → Monitoring System → Alarm / Protection

| Sensor Layer | Detects shaft displacement |
| Signal Processing Layer | Converts sensor output signals |
| Monitoring Layer | Evaluates vibration and position data |
