EPRO PR6423/010-010-CN – Non-Contact Eddy Current Displacement Sensor | PR6423 Series
Engineering Background
The EPRO PR6423 series is a precision non-contact eddy current sensor system engineered by Baker Hughes (formerly GE Bently Nevada / EPRO) for continuous shaft displacement and vibration monitoring in critical rotating machinery. Designed to IEC and API 670 standards, the PR6423 is the industry benchmark for turbomachinery protection systems worldwide.
Product Positioning
The PR6423/010-010-CN paired with the CON021 extension cable is a complete sensing chain solution for radial shaft vibration, axial position, and differential expansion measurement. It is the preferred choice for procurement engineers specifying replacement or expansion components in existing EPRO/Bently Nevada monitoring architectures.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The PR6423/010-010-CN operates as part of a three-component sensing chain:
- Probe (PR6423/010-010-CN) — generates an oscillating electromagnetic field; gap change modulates the eddy current loss and alters the output voltage.
- Extension Cable (CON021) — coaxial, impedance-matched cable transmitting the high-frequency carrier signal from probe to driver with minimal attenuation.
- Driver/Conditioner (PR9268 / PR6424) — demodulates the carrier, outputs a DC voltage proportional to gap, and interfaces with the monitoring system (e.g., EPRO MMS6000, Bently Nevada 3500 series).
Note: The probe, extension cable, and driver must be ordered and calibrated as a matched set. Substituting components from different manufacturers may invalidate calibration and void API 670 compliance.

Technical FAQ
Q: Can the PR6423/010-010-CN be used with a Bently Nevada 3500 series monitor?
A: Yes, with the appropriate EPRO driver (PR9268/PR6424) as the signal conditioner. Direct connection to a 3500 proximitor input is not supported without the matched driver.
Q: What is the difference between the /010-010 and other PR6423 variants?
A: The suffix denotes probe cable length (1.0 m) and extension cable length (1.0 m). Other variants (e.g., /010-030) indicate different cable lengths. Ensure the total probe + extension cable length matches your driver’s calibration.
Q: Is the CON021 extension cable included?
A: Yes, this listing covers the PR6423/010-010-CN probe with the CON021 extension cable as a matched pair.
Q: Can you supply calibration certificates?
A: Factory calibration data is available for new-in-box units. For surplus stock, functional verification reports can be arranged. Contact us for details.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 2–6 weeks depending on sourcing. Contact us for current availability.
