Introduction & Technical Overview
The Epro PR6423/003-110 combined with the CON021 signal conditioner is a high-reliability eddy current proximity measurement system designed for precise monitoring of rotating machinery dynamics. The probe provides non-contact measurement of shaft displacement, while the CON021 module processes and conditions the signal into a stable output suitable for industrial monitoring and protection systems.
This configuration is engineered for continuous operation in demanding environments such as turbines, compressors, and heavy-duty rotating equipment. It is particularly valued in applications where long-term signal stability and resistance to environmental interference are critical for machinery safety and predictive maintenance strategies.

Applications
The system is widely used in condition monitoring of high-value rotating assets. Typical applications include steam and gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, large industrial pumps, and electric generators.
It is deployed to measure radial vibration, axial displacement, shaft eccentricity, and rotor dynamic behavior during startup, shutdown, and steady-state operation. In power generation plants, it plays a key role in machinery protection systems, providing real-time data that helps prevent catastrophic mechanical failures. In oil and gas and petrochemical industries, it supports continuous monitoring of compressors operating under extreme load conditions.C
Advantages
The PR6423/003-110 probe paired with the CON021 conditioner provides high signal stability and excellent repeatability across a wide operating range. The eddy current measurement principle ensures immunity to oil, dust, and non-conductive contaminants, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
The separation between probe and signal conditioning unit improves installation flexibility and simplifies maintenance procedures. If required, individual components can be replaced without redesigning the entire measurement chain, reducing downtime and maintenance cost.
The system supports accurate dynamic response, making it suitable for both steady-state vibration monitoring and transient event detection in high-speed rotating machinery.
