Product Overview
The Epro PR6423/014-040 is an 8 mm eddy current sensor used for non-contact measurement of shaft displacement and relative movement in rotating machinery. It belongs to the PR6423 series and is commonly applied where continuous monitoring of rotating equipment is required.
The sensor operates close to a conductive machine target without physical contact. This makes it suitable for monitoring shaft position, radial movement, axial displacement, and vibration-related motion on machinery such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators.
In a typical monitoring installation, the sensor is positioned toward the monitored shaft or target surface and connected to compatible signal-conditioning electronics. Changes in the distance between the sensor and target are converted into an electrical signal that can be processed by the machinery monitoring system.
The PR6423/014-040 is used as the sensing element within the measurement chain. Correct probe mounting, target alignment, installation gap, and compatibility with the associated signal converter are important factors when commissioning or replacing the sensor.

Working Principle
The PR6423/014-040 uses an eddy current sensing principle to detect changes in the distance between the sensor head and a conductive target. When the monitored shaft moves relative to the sensor, the electromagnetic interaction at the sensing tip changes.
The associated signal-conditioning electronics convert the sensor response into a usable electrical measurement. The resulting signal can then be evaluated by a machinery monitoring system for shaft position, displacement, or vibration-related conditions.
Conductive Shaft / Target → PR6423/014-040 Sensor → Eddy Current Signal Converter → Machinery Monitoring System → Alarm / Protection
The sensor itself is the measurement point and does not independently determine machine alarms or shutdown actions. Probe position, target material, installation gap, mechanical stability, and the compatible signal converter all influence the quality of the resulting measurement.
Role in an Eddy Current Machinery Monitoring Architecture
The PR6423/014-040 occupies the field sensing layer of an eddy current monitoring system. It provides the non-contact measurement needed by downstream signal-conditioning and machinery protection equipment.
Rotating Shaft → PR6423/014-040 → Signal Converter → Monitoring Module → Alarm / Trip → Machine Protection
| System Element | Function |
|---|---|
| Rotating Shaft | Provides the conductive target being monitored |
| PR6423/014-040 | Detects relative shaft-to-sensor displacement |
| Eddy Current Signal Converter | Conditions the sensor response into a usable signal |
| Machinery Monitoring Module | Evaluates displacement or vibration information |
| Alarm System | Indicates abnormal machinery conditions |
| Protection Logic | Determines whether a configured protective response is required |
| Shutdown / Trip System | Initiates machine protection when required |
The sensor therefore forms the first measurement stage of the monitoring chain, while the converter and monitoring equipment perform signal processing, evaluation, and protection functions.

Technical FAQs
What is the PR6423/014-040 primarily used to measure?
The sensor is primarily used to detect relative movement between the sensor head and a conductive machine target. Depending on the monitoring arrangement, this information can be used for shaft displacement, position, or vibration-related measurements.
Does the PR6423/014-040 require a signal converter?
The sensor normally forms part of a complete eddy current measurement system and is used with compatible signal-conditioning electronics. The converter processes the sensor response so that it can be evaluated by the downstream monitoring system.
What installation conditions can affect the sensor signal?
Probe-to-target gap, sensor alignment, mounting stability, target surface condition, cable connections, and signal-conditioning equipment can all influence the measurement. Mechanical installation should therefore be checked when the signal becomes unstable or differs from expected operating behavior.
How should the PR6423/014-040 be selected as a replacement sensor?
The complete model designation should be matched with the existing installation, including the sensor configuration, mounting arrangement, cable/interface requirements, and associated signal-conditioning equipment. The replacement should then be verified through the complete monitoring chain during commissioning.
