EPRO PR6423/011-130 CON021 Non-Contact Eddy Current Sensor – PR6423 Series
Imagine a 50,000 RPM steam turbine rotor running without any vibration feedback. Within seconds, a shaft imbalance goes undetected, bearing clearances exceed safe limits, and a catastrophic failure shuts down an entire power plant — costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in unplanned downtime and repairs. This is the reality that plant engineers face without a reliable eddy current sensor in the loop. The EPRO PR6423/011-130 CON021 eliminates that risk by delivering continuous, non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, axial displacement, and radial position — the three critical parameters that keep rotating machinery alive.
Within the PR6423 family — EPRO’s flagship eddy current sensor series trusted by OEMs and end-users across six continents — the PR6423/011-130 variant is engineered for standard 11 mm probe tip diameter applications with a 130 mm armored extension cable, paired with the CON021 signal conditioning module. This combination delivers a calibrated, linearized output signal ready for direct integration into Bently Nevada 3500 series monitors, EPRO MMS6000 systems, and virtually any 4–20 mA or voltage-input safety instrumented system. It is the go-to solution for turbine OEMs, petrochemical plant engineers, and rotating equipment reliability specialists worldwide.

Key Features & Benefits
- Non-Contact Measurement: Zero mechanical wear — the sensor never touches the rotating shaft, ensuring indefinite sensor life under normal operating conditions.
- High-Frequency Response: Capable of capturing high-speed vibration events that contact-based sensors miss, critical for turbomachinery running above 3,000 RPM.
- Armored Extension Cable: The 130 mm armored cable protects signal integrity in high-vibration, high-temperature, and chemically aggressive environments.
- CON021 Signal Conditioner: Provides linearized, calibrated output — plug-and-play compatibility with major machinery protection monitors without additional signal processing.
- API 670 Ready: Designed to meet the requirements of API Standard 670 for machinery protection systems in the oil & gas and power generation industries.
- Drop-in Replacement: Direct replacement for legacy EPRO and compatible Bently Nevada proximity probe assemblies — no re-wiring or re-calibration of the monitor required in most installations.
- Broad Target Compatibility: Works on both ferrous and non-ferrous shaft materials, including stainless steel, Inconel, and titanium alloys.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Power Generation: Steam turbines, gas turbines, hydro generators — shaft vibration and axial position monitoring per API 670.
- Oil & Gas: Centrifugal compressors, expanders, and pipeline pumps in upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities.
- Petrochemical & Refining: Critical rotating equipment in ethylene crackers, refineries, and LNG terminals.
- Marine Propulsion: Shaft monitoring on large marine diesel engines and gas turbine propulsion systems.
- Industrial Manufacturing: High-speed spindles, paper machine rolls, and large industrial fans requiring continuous condition monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the PR6423/011-130 CON021 a direct replacement for Bently Nevada proximity probes?
A: In most API 670 installations, yes. The PR6423 series is designed to be interchangeable with standard 11 mm proximity probe assemblies. However, we recommend verifying the gap voltage range and sensitivity (mV/mil or mV/μm) with your monitor manufacturer before installation.
Q: What is the difference between PR6423/011-130 and PR6423/011-100?
A: The suffix “130” and “100” refer to the armored extension cable length in millimeters. The /011-130 has a 130 mm extension cable, while the /011-100 has a 100 mm extension. Choose based on the physical distance between your probe mounting point and the junction box or conditioner location.
Q: Can this sensor be used on non-ferrous shafts such as titanium or Inconel?
A: Yes. Eddy current sensors work on all electrically conductive materials. However, the sensitivity (scale factor) varies by target material. EPRO provides material-specific calibration curves — contact us for the appropriate calibration data for your shaft material.
Q: Do you provide a warranty on EPRO products?
A: All units sold through Konmask.com carry a minimum 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available — contact our sales team for details.
Q: How do I verify the authenticity of the unit I receive?
A: Each genuine EPRO unit carries a unique serial number traceable to the manufacturer. We provide the serial number and available documentation upon request. Our sourcing process includes supplier audits to ensure product authenticity.
