Product Short Description
Product Introduction:
The EPRO CON021 is a specialized eddy current sensor signal converter manufactured by epro GmbH (now part of Baker Hughes Bently Nevada). This industrial-grade module serves as the critical signal conditioning interface, converting raw sensor signals from proximity probes into precise, standardized measurements of shaft vibration and position for machinery protection and condition monitoring.

Working Principle:
The CON021 operates on the eddy current effect principle. The converter amplifies weak sensor signals and linearizes them, outputting voltage signals proportional to shaft vibration and displacement. The device processes both dynamic (vibration) and static (position) parameters simultaneously.
Advantages and Highlights:
-
High-precision signal processing with ±0.1% accuracy
-
Wide frequency response (0-20,000 Hz) captures full vibration spectrum
-
Industrial temperature range (-30°C to 100°C) suits harsh environments
-
Anti-interference design ensures reliable measurements in electrically noisy environments
-
Flexible sensor connection options accommodate different installation scenarios
-
Comprehensive protection features extend equipment service life
Applicable Industries:
Power generation (turbine, generator bearing vibration and shaft displacement monitoring), petrochemical and metallurgy (compressor, pump oil film thickness and dynamic balance), mechanical manufacturing (gearbox, centrifuge shaft eccentricity and radial vibration), and rail transportation (traction motor bearing monitoring).
