The EPRO PR6480/161-000 is part of the advanced PR6480 eddy current displacement sensor family used in industrial machinery protection systems. It operates by generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field and measuring induced eddy currents on conductive rotating surfaces, enabling precise non-contact measurement of shaft movement and vibration behavior.
This technology is widely applied in predictive maintenance systems to detect early-stage mechanical faults such as imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and rotor instability before catastrophic failure occurs.
The PR6480/161-000 is designed for critical condition monitoring and machinery protection in high-value rotating equipment.
Typical applications include:
Steam turbine shaft vibration and axial displacement monitoring
Gas turbine rotor dynamics and eccentricity detection
Hydro turbine shaft position and thrust behavior monitoring
Large industrial compressor vibration diagnostics
Gearbox alignment and mechanical condition analysis
Power plant rotating machinery protection systems
Oil & gas turbomachinery monitoring systems
It is especially suitable for continuous predictive maintenance systems where early fault detection is essential.
