Rotating Machinery Condition Monitoring Solution – EPRO PR9268/203-000 | PR9268 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The EPRO PR9268/203-000 is a precision eddy-current shaft vibration sensor engineered for continuous condition monitoring of rotating machinery in demanding industrial environments. It is widely deployed in:
- Steam & Gas Turbines – real-time radial shaft displacement monitoring per API 670
- Centrifugal Compressors – early detection of rotor imbalance and bearing wear in petrochemical plants
- Large Electric Motors & Generators – shaft orbit analysis and critical speed monitoring
- Pumps & Fans – vibration trending for predictive maintenance programs
- Paper & Steel Mill Machinery – continuous monitoring of high-speed roll drives
- Marine Propulsion Systems – shaft line vibration surveillance in offshore and vessel applications

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the PR9268/203-000 a direct replacement for the Bently Nevada 330780-50-00?
A: Yes. The PR9268 8 mm series is dimensionally and electrically compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm probe family when used with the matched EPRO driver. Always verify the full system (probe + cable + driver) calibration before commissioning.
Q: What target material is required for accurate measurement?
A: The probe is calibrated for AISI 4140 steel (standard shaft material). For stainless steel or non-ferrous shafts, a material correction factor must be applied — contact us for recalibration options.
Q: Can this sensor be used in ATEX Zone 1 hazardous areas?
A: The standard PR9268/203-000 is not ATEX-rated. EPRO offers intrinsically safe variants for Zone 1/Zone 2 applications. Contact Konmask to confirm the correct part number for your area classification.
Q: What is the recommended gap voltage for installation?
A: With the matched PR9268 driver, set the initial gap to achieve approximately -10 V DC (mid-range), corresponding to a physical gap of ~1.0 mm from the shaft surface.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Yes. Factory calibration certificates are included with every unit. Third-party recalibration services can be arranged on request.
