Emerson PR6424/002-030 16mm Eddy-Current Contactless Sensor

Emerson PR6424/002-030 is a rugged, non-contact eddy current sensor engineered for precise vibration and displacement measurement in the most demanding industrial environments. As part of the prestigious EPRO product line (now Emerson), this 16mm probe is specifically designed for permanent installation on critical rotating machinery, including steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, and large pumps . By utilizing the principle of eddy currents, the PR6424/002-030 provides high-resolution data on shaft dynamics, radial vibration, and axial position without any physical contact, ensuring reliable machinery protection and condition monitoring.
