Emerson PR6423/01K-010 – Non-Contact Eddy Current Proximity Sensor | Bently Nevada 3300 Series Compatible
Engineering Background: The PR6423/01K-010 is a high-precision eddy current proximity transducer engineered by Emerson (Bently Nevada) for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, axial displacement, and radial position in rotating machinery. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating a high-frequency oscillating magnetic field that interacts with conductive target surfaces to produce a linear DC output proportional to gap distance.
Product Positioning: Designed for mission-critical rotating equipment in power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy industrial environments, the PR6423/01K-010 delivers API 670-compliant performance with exceptional long-term stability. It is the preferred choice for procurement engineers specifying vibration monitoring systems on steam turbines, gas compressors, centrifugal pumps, and large electric motors.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The PR6423/01K-010 operates as part of a three-component measurement chain: Probe → Extension Cable → Driver/Oscillator (e.g., PR9268 or 3300 XL driver). The probe tip generates a high-frequency (typically 1 MHz) oscillating magnetic field. When a conductive target enters the field, eddy currents are induced, loading the oscillator circuit. This loading is detected and converted to a linear DC voltage output by the driver module, which is then fed to the monitoring system (e.g., Bently Nevada 3300 rack or equivalent PLC/DCS analog input card).

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the PR6423/01K-010 a direct replacement for the Bently Nevada 330101 series?
A: The PR6423 series uses the same signal chain architecture and is compatible with 3300 XL drivers, but connector and calibration parameters should be verified against your specific driver model before installation.
Q: What driver module is required?
A: The PR6423/01K-010 requires a compatible Bently Nevada PR9268 series driver or equivalent 3300 XL proximitor. Contact us if you need a matched driver unit.
Q: Can this sensor be used with non-Bently Nevada monitoring systems?
A: Yes. The –2 VDC to –18 VDC output is compatible with any analog input card accepting this range. Custom calibration documentation can be provided.
Q: What is the warranty?
A: 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Warranty claims processed within 5 business days of receipt of returned unit.
Q: Do you offer expedited shipping?
A: Yes. DHL Express Next-Day and 2-Day options are available at checkout for most destinations.
