Turbine Shaft Vibration Monitoring Solution — EPRO PR6423/004-010 CON021 | PR6423 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The EPRO PR6423/004-010 CON021 eddy current proximity transducer is engineered for continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft radial vibration, axial position, and differential expansion in rotating machinery. Typical deployment environments include:
- Steam & Gas Turbines — shaft eccentricity and radial vibration monitoring per API 670
- Centrifugal Compressors — rotor dynamic displacement measurement in petrochemical plants
- Large Pumps & Fans — bearing journal orbit analysis in power generation facilities
- Hydro Turbines — axial thrust and guide-bearing clearance monitoring
- Industrial Gearboxes — gear mesh frequency and shaft runout detection
- Marine Propulsion Systems — continuous shaft position feedback in offshore platforms
This sensor is fully compatible with EPRO MMS 6000 and Bently Nevada 3300/3500 series monitoring systems, making it a direct fit for existing plant protection architectures.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the PR6423/004-010 CON021 compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 series monitors?
A: The PR6423 series uses EPRO’s signal conditioning chain (CON041 driver). Direct connection to Bently Nevada 3300 monitors requires a compatible driver module. Contact us to confirm your specific system configuration.
Q: What is the difference between PR6423/004-010 and PR6423/004-030?
A: The suffix after the dash indicates cable length — /004-010 has a 1.0 m integral cable, while /004-030 has a 3.0 m cable. The probe tip diameter (4 mm) and sensitivity are identical.
Q: Can this sensor be used on non-ferrous target materials such as aluminum or titanium?
A: Eddy current probes are sensitive to target material conductivity and permeability. EPRO provides calibration curves for non-standard target materials. Contact our technical team for application-specific calibration data.
Q: What is the maximum shaft speed this sensor can monitor?
A: The PR6423 has a frequency response of DC to 10 kHz, supporting shaft speeds well beyond 100,000 RPM for vibration frequency components. Consult the OEM datasheet for your specific application.
Q: Do you provide ATEX-certified versions for hazardous area installation?
A: ATEX/IECEx zone-rated variants exist within the PR6423 family. Please specify your hazardous area classification when requesting a quote.
