Emerson Epro PR6423/013-000 8 mm Eddy Current Sensor
An M10 x 1 PR6423 probe with armored cable, a 55 mm sleeve and a 4 m measurement-chain cable configuration.
Key Information
PR6423/013-000 is an 8 mm eddy-current sensor configuration for non-contact radial or axial shaft displacement, position, eccentricity and speed measurements.
Its ordering code identifies an M10 x 1 sleeve thread, armored cable and a 55 mm sleeve length.
The remaining code defines an adapter plug at 1 m, 4 m total cable length and a Lemo connector for the converter.
Functions
Forms the sensing front end of a calibrated eddy-current measurement chain.
Observes a ferromagnetic shaft without mechanical contact.
Supports machinery protection and condition-monitoring measurements when paired with the approved converter.
Provides a high-temperature stainless-steel and PEEK sensing assembly for installed machinery.
Specifications
Installation
- Mount against the documented ferromagnetic target and keep the approved initial gap.
- Route the armored cable without exceeding bend or temperature limits and protect the coaxial connection.
- Pair the probe only with the converter and calibration chain specified for this exact ordering code.
- Verify static gap voltage, dynamic response, polarity and protection-channel scaling after installation.
Lifecycle
- Record the complete PR6423/013-000 suffix rather than the PR6423 family alone.
- Do not exchange the armored-cable execution for a non-armored variant without installation review.
- Preserve total cable length and converter compatibility across the complete measurement chain.
- Inspect the probe tip, thread, armor, cable and connector before a returned item is accepted.
FAQ
Can PR6423/013-000 be replaced by another PR6423 suffix?
Only after thread, armor, sleeve length, adapter position, total cable length, connector and converter compatibility are shown to match the installed chain.
What quotation evidence is needed for PR6423/013-000?
Provide the full probe label, converter model, machine target, mounting drawing, cable route and required hazardous-area status.
Why must the 4 m chain length be preserved for PR6423/013-000?
The sensor and converter operate as a calibrated measurement chain; changing cable geometry can change the approved electrical response.
What should be checked before mounting PR6423/013-000?
Verify the M10 x 1 mounting thread, 55 mm sleeve clearance, target material, probe-tip condition and the full cable path.
What commissioning evidence should follow PR6423/013-000 installation?
Record static gap voltage, slow-roll behavior, dynamic signal, channel scaling, alarm path and the final machinery-protection proof test.
