Product Overview
The Epro PR6423/011-100 8mm Eddy Current Sensor is a non-contact eddy current probe used to monitor the relative movement between a rotating machine shaft and a fixed measurement point. It belongs to the PR6423 Series and is intended for machinery applications where shaft displacement, position, eccentricity, or vibration-related movement needs to be monitored continuously.
The probe works with a compatible signal-conditioning unit rather than functioning as a standalone monitoring instrument. The sensing element detects changes in the electromagnetic field produced by the conductive target, while the associated electronics converts the probe response into a usable measurement signal.
In a typical turbomachinery installation, the sensor is positioned toward the shaft surface and connected through the appropriate signal-conditioning equipment to a machinery monitoring or protection system. This arrangement allows the control or protection system to observe mechanical movement without placing a physical sensor against the rotating component.
The PR6423/011-100 can therefore be treated as one part of a complete displacement or vibration measurement chain. When replacing an installed probe, the probe type, associated electronics, cable arrangement, mounting position, and existing monitoring configuration should all be checked together.

Working Principle
The PR6423/011-100 measures the distance between its sensing tip and a conductive target by means of an alternating electromagnetic field.
Conductive Machine Target → PR6423/011-100 → Signal Conditioning Electronics → Machinery Monitoring System
When the shaft moves relative to the probe, the distance between the probe tip and the conductive target changes. This alters the eddy-current response at the probe tip. The associated signal-conditioning electronics processes this change and produces a measurement signal for the machinery monitoring system.
Depending on the installation and monitoring configuration, the signal can be used for:
- Shaft radial displacement
- Shaft axial position
- Rotor eccentricity
- Shaft vibration
- Rotational movement
- Machinery protection monitoring
The non-contact measurement method allows the probe to monitor a rotating shaft without introducing mechanical contact between the sensor and the machine component.
Role in a Rotating Machinery Monitoring Architecture
The sensor forms the front-end measurement point of a machinery monitoring chain. Its output is passed to the associated signal-conditioning electronics before reaching the monitoring or protection system.
Rotating Shaft → PR6423/011-100 → Signal Conditioner → Machinery Monitor → Alarm / Protection

Installation and Maintenance
- Confirm that the PR6423/011-100 matches the installed measurement system and associated electronics.
- Check the sensor type and application before removing an existing probe.
- Verify that the monitored shaft or target surface is suitable for eddy-current measurement.
- Install the probe securely at the specified measurement location.
- Maintain the required probe-to-target gap for the associated measurement chain.
- Check probe alignment relative to the shaft or monitored surface.
- Inspect the mounting arrangement for looseness or mechanical movement.
- Route the sensor cable away from high-interference power wiring where practical.
- Check connectors for contamination, corrosion, looseness, or physical damage.
- Verify the signal-conditioning electronics and its connection to the monitoring system.
- After installation, check the complete measurement path before returning the machine to normal operation.
- Compare the measured signal with expected shaft behavior during commissioning or startup.
- During maintenance, inspect the probe tip and mounting hardware for contamination or damage.
- If the signal is unstable, check the gap, alignment, cable, signal conditioner, target condition, and monitor before replacing components.
A faulty indication can originate from several points in the measurement chain. Separating probe, cable, conditioning electronics, and monitoring-system checks helps identify the actual source of an abnormal reading.

Technical FAQs
What type of machinery movement can the PR6423/011-100 detect?
It can be used to detect changes in the relative position between the sensor and a conductive target. In a properly configured monitoring system, this can support shaft displacement, axial position, eccentricity, or vibration-related measurements.
Does the PR6423/011-100 need to physically contact the shaft?
No. The sensor uses eddy-current measurement, so the sensing tip remains separated from the conductive shaft. This allows measurements to be made while the shaft is rotating without mechanical contact between the probe and target.
What components are normally required with this sensor?
The probe normally forms part of a complete measurement chain that includes compatible signal-conditioning electronics, connecting cable, and a machinery monitoring or protection system. The exact combination should match the installed measurement architecture.
What can cause an incorrect PR6423/011-100 measurement?
An incorrect probe-to-target gap, poor alignment, loose mounting, damaged cable, unsuitable target condition, signal-conditioning problems, or monitoring-system faults can all affect the measurement. Checking the complete signal path is preferable to assuming that the probe itself has failed.
