Description
PR6424/010-110 + CON021 EPRO 11mm Eddy‑Current Probe with 5‑Meter Armored Cable, Non‑Contact Shaft Displacement Sensor for Radial Vibration, Axial Thrust & Differential Expansion Monitoring
Product Application
PR6424/010-110 is 11mm medium‑size eddy‑current probe of EPRO, matched with CON021 preamplifier to form a complete calibrated measurement chain. It performs non‑contact measurement of shaft‑to‑bearing‑housing clearance variation. Widely deployed on steam turbines, gas turbines, centrifugal compressors, blowers and large pumps in petrochemical, oil & gas and thermal power plants. Typical measuring parameters: X/Y orthogonal radial vibration, axial thrust position, differential expansion and shaft eccentricity. Gap voltage signal from CON021 is sent to Emerson CSI6500 TSI monitoring modules such as A6110, A6120 for machinery alarm and trip protection; vibration waveform data is uploaded to AMS predictive maintenance platform. The full set meets API 670 turbomachinery protection specification.

PR6424 010-110+CON021
Product Features
✅ 11mm Medium‑Size Ceramic Tip Larger than standard 8mm PR6423 probe, stable electromagnetic field, excellent signal quality for medium‑diameter rotating shafts.
✅ Wide ±4mm Linear Measurement Range Suitable for axial thrust and differential expansion measurement with large shaft displacement, not limited to radial vibration only.
✅ 5 Meter Integrated Armored Cable Long 5m armored cable variant, applicable for long‑distance wiring from bearing housing to preamplifier junction box without adding extra extension cable.
✅ Each probe‑preamplifier pair is calibrated before delivery to guarantee 2 V/mm sensitivity accuracy, no field matching work required.
✅ High Temperature & Oil Resistant Assembly Probe head can continuously withstand 180℃; armored PTFE cable resists lubricating oil corrosion inside bearing housing.
✅ Built‑in Cable Fault Diagnosis Cooperated with CSI6500 TSI module to detect probe cable open circuit and short circuit, report sensor failure alarm in time.
✅ Hazardous Zone Certified Suitable for Zone 2 / Class I Div 2 explosive gas area installation in petrochemical plants.
Installation Guidelines
- Install rigid probe bracket on bearing housing, avoid bracket resonance at unit operating speed.
- Mount PR6424/010-110 probe on bracket, adjust static gap between probe tip and shaft target surface to around 5.5 mm, lock the lock nut.
- Route 5m armored cable, avoid sharp bending and heavy extrusion; fasten LEMO plug tightly to preamplifier.
- Mount preamplifier in junction box away from high‑temperature radiation.
- Connect signal output to front BNC port of CSI6500 TSI module with dedicated coaxial cable.
- Power on CSI6500 rack, read gap voltage value on AMS workstation and confirm probe works within linear interval.
- Perform dynamic test during turbine / compressor startup.
- Verify vibration value, displacement reading and alarm trip logic before putting machinery protection online.
Maintenance Instructions
Daily Maintenance Monitor real‑time gap voltage and measurement value in AMS software. Check bracket looseness, armored cable oil erosion and LEMO connector oil contamination.
Periodic Maintenance Every 6–12 months: Inspect probe tip scratch and oil sludge contamination. Calibrate the whole probe‑‑TSI measurement loop with dynamic calibrator. Back up CSI6500 project configuration.
Fault Maintenance
- Gap voltage out of linear range: Check bracket loosening, shaft runout or probe collision.
- No measurement signal: Inspect LEMO connector locking status, cable breakage and power supply.
- Signal drift: Clean oil sludge on probe tip or replace probe assembly.
- ESD protection required during replacement; do not disassemble probe head and housing.
Long‑Term Operation Tips Respect cable minimum bending radius. Prevent lubricating oil long‑term immersion on LEMO connector. Regularly check bracket resonance under working speed.
