Product Overview

The PR6424/000-000 CON021 is a high-precision inductive measurement module engineered by Emerson for the EPRO machinery protection ecosystem. This eddy current transducer is specifically designed for the non-contacting acquisition of shaft displacement, axial position, and radial vibration in high-speed rotating assets. By utilizing electromagnetic induction, the sensor tracks minute changes in the gap between the probe and the metallic target surface without physical interference. While the EPRO series was officially discontinued on December 31, 2018, this brand-new unit remains an essential technical component for maintaining legacy AMS 6500 Classic monitoring racks and ensuring the mechanical integrity of mission-critical industrial hardware.
