EPRO PR6424/010-040-CN CON021 – Eddy Current Transducer for Rotating Machinery | PR6424 Series
Engineering Background: The EPRO PR6424 series is a globally recognized eddy current (non-contact) transducer platform engineered for continuous vibration and displacement monitoring of rotating machinery. Developed to meet the stringent demands of turbomachinery OEMs and end-users, the PR6424 series is fully compatible with Emerson CSI, Bently Nevada 3500/3300, and EPRO MMS6000 monitoring systems.
Product Positioning: The PR6424/010-040-CN CON021 is a 10 mm diameter probe with a 40 mm cable extension, designed for radial shaft vibration and axial position measurement in high-temperature, high-speed rotating equipment. The CON021 connector variant ensures direct plug-in compatibility with EPRO and third-party signal conditioners. This model is the preferred choice for procurement engineers sourcing replacement or expansion sensors for existing PR6424-based monitoring loops.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The PR6424/010-040-CN CON021 operates as part of a three-component eddy current measurement chain:
- 1. Probe (PR6424/010-040-CN CON021): Generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field; detects gap change as impedance variation.
- 2. Extension Cable (CON021 interface): Transmits the RF signal from probe tip to driver/oscillator with minimal loss; matched impedance design.
- 3. Signal Conditioner / Driver: Compatible with EPRO CON021 drivers (e.g., PR9268 series), Bently Nevada 3300 XL, and MMS6000 I/O modules. Converts impedance change to a calibrated DC voltage output (typically -2 VDC to -18 VDC for full-scale gap range).
The DC output feeds directly into a vibration monitor (e.g., EPRO MMS6823, Bently Nevada 3500/40M) for alarm, trip, and trending functions.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the PR6424/010-040-CN CON021 a direct replacement for PR6424/010-040-CN without the CON021 suffix?
A: The CON021 suffix denotes the connector type. Verify your existing driver/conditioner connector before ordering. Contact us if you need cross-reference assistance.
Q: Can this probe work with Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximitors?
A: Yes, with appropriate adapter cables. The PR6424 series is electrically compatible with 3300 XL drivers when gap and sensitivity are recalibrated per Bently Nevada guidelines.
Q: What is the maximum shaft speed this transducer can monitor?
A: The 10 kHz frequency response supports shaft speeds up to approximately 600,000 RPM for 1× vibration; practical limit for most applications is 100,000 RPM.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Factory calibration data is available upon request. Third-party NIST-traceable calibration can be arranged for critical applications.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: Single units are available. Volume pricing applies for orders of 5+ units.
