It measures shaft vibration, radial displacement, eccentricity, and axial position.

Q3: Is it a contact sensor?
No, it is a fully non-contact proximity sensor.

Q4: What systems is it compatible with?
It is typically paired with EPRO CON011, CON021, or CON041 signal converters.

Q5: Can it measure both static and dynamic signals?
Yes, it supports both static position and dynamic vibration measurement.

Q6: Is it suitable for high-speed rotating machinery?
Yes, it is designed for turbines, compressors, and industrial rotating equipment.

Q7: Does it require calibration after installation?
No field calibration is required for the probe itself.

Q8: What industries commonly use it?
Power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy industrial sectors.

Q9: Can it operate in harsh environments?
