Function and Working Principle
The CON010 + PR6423/010-120 operates based on the eddy current principle. The probe generates an electromagnetic field, which interacts with a conductive target surface.
This allows:
Non-contact measurement of displacement and vibration
Detection of shaft position and movement
High-speed response to dynamic changes
Stable performance in harsh environments
Changes in distance between the probe and the target alter the eddy current field, which is converted into an electrical signal by the CON010 module for monitoring and analysis.
