Product Overview
The Epro PR6423/10R-040-CN is an 8 mm eddy current sensor for non-contact measurement of relative movement between a rotating machine component and the sensing probe. It is used in machinery monitoring systems where shaft position, displacement, or vibration-related movement needs to be detected without mechanical contact.
The sensor is installed close to a suitable conductive target, typically a shaft or rotor surface. As the target moves relative to the probe, the electromagnetic response at the sensing tip changes. This change is used by the associated signal-conditioning electronics to produce a measurement suitable for downstream monitoring.
The PR6423/10R-040-CN can be applied to rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, generators, motors, pumps, and other machinery where continuous shaft monitoring is required. The sensor itself forms the machine-side sensing element and normally works together with a compatible driver or signal-conditioning device.
During maintenance, the probe installation should be considered together with the target surface, mounting arrangement, cable, signal-conditioning electronics, and monitoring input. A change in the observed measurement does not necessarily indicate a failed sensor.

Working Principle
The PR6423/10R-040-CN uses an eddy current sensing field to detect changes in the distance between the probe tip and a conductive target. When the rotating shaft or target moves, the eddy current response changes accordingly.
The sensor output is passed to compatible signal-conditioning electronics, which process the sensor response into a usable measurement signal. The monitoring system can then evaluate the resulting information for shaft position, displacement, vibration-related movement, alarm, or protection functions.
Conductive Shaft / Target → PR6423/10R-040-CN Sensor → Signal Conditioning → Monitoring System → Alarm / Protection
The sensing result is affected by probe positioning, target geometry and surface condition, mounting stability, cable integrity, and the characteristics of the associated signal-conditioning electronics. These factors should be checked together during commissioning.
Role in an Epro Eddy Current Monitoring Architecture
The PR6423/10R-040-CN occupies the machine-side sensing layer of an eddy current monitoring system. It detects the physical relationship between the probe and conductive target, while downstream electronics handle signal conditioning and monitoring functions.
Rotating Shaft → PR6423 Sensor → Signal Conditioner / Driver → Monitoring Input → Machinery Monitoring System → Alarm / Protection
| System Element | Function |
|---|---|
| Rotating Shaft / Target | Provides the conductive surface being monitored |
| PR6423/10R-040-CN | Detects changes in target-to-probe distance |
| Signal Conditioner / Driver | Processes the sensor response for downstream equipment |
| Monitoring Input | Receives the conditioned measurement signal |
| Machinery Monitoring System | Evaluates shaft position, displacement, or vibration data |
| Alarm / Protection System | Generates configured warning or protective responses |
The probe should be selected and installed as part of the complete measurement channel rather than as an independent monitoring device.
Industrial Applications
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Steam Turbines | Shaft position and displacement monitoring |
| Gas Turbines | Rotor movement and machinery condition monitoring |
| Compressors | Non-contact shaft displacement measurement |
| Generators | Rotor position and movement monitoring |
| Large Motors | Radial or axial shaft movement monitoring |
| Pumps | Continuous rotating shaft monitoring |
| Turboexpanders | High-speed shaft displacement measurement |
| Industrial Turbomachinery | Continuous non-contact condition monitoring |
| Machinery Protection Systems | Measurement input for alarm and protective functions |
Installation and Maintenance
- Verify the complete PR6423/10R-040-CN part number before installation.
- Confirm compatibility between the sensor, signal-conditioning electronics, and intended monitoring system.
- Isolate the rotating equipment and follow the applicable site safety procedure before installation or maintenance.
- Inspect the probe tip for contamination, impact damage, or other physical abnormalities.
- Verify that the mounting arrangement allows the probe to be positioned correctly relative to the conductive target.
- Establish the required probe-to-target relationship according to the applicable Epro measurement-system requirements.
- Check probe alignment and ensure that the mounting structure remains mechanically secure during operation.
- Inspect the sensor cable and terminations for damage, loose connections, excessive bending, or environmental exposure.
- Verify the connection between the probe and its associated signal conditioner or driver.
- Check the sensor signal after installation and compare the measurement with expected machine operating conditions.
- If the signal is unstable or missing, inspect the probe position, target surface, cable, signal-conditioning electronics, and monitoring input before replacing the sensor.
- After replacement, perform a complete measurement-channel and machinery-monitoring functional test before returning the equipment to normal operation.

Technical FAQs
What type of target can the PR6423/10R-040-CN measure?
The sensor operates with a suitable conductive target, such as an appropriately prepared rotating shaft or rotor surface. Target characteristics and installation conditions should be considered when configuring the complete measurement channel.
Why can a mechanically secure probe still produce an abnormal measurement?
A secure mounting arrangement does not by itself guarantee a correct signal. Probe-to-target position, alignment, target surface condition, cable integrity, and signal-conditioning electronics can all influence the measurement.
Does the PR6423/10R-040-CN perform signal conditioning by itself?
The probe is the sensing element of the measurement chain. Compatible signal-conditioning electronics or a suitable driver are required to process the sensor response for use by the downstream monitoring system.
What should be checked before replacing the sensor because of an unstable reading?
First inspect the probe mounting, target surface, probe-to-target relationship, cable connections, and associated signal-conditioning electronics. If these conditions are correct, the sensor can then be evaluated as part of the complete measurement channel.
