Description
The EPRO CON 041 PR 6423/103-041 is an eddy current signal converter and sensor combination designed for machinery monitoring applications. The CON 041 converter works together with EPRO PR 6422–PR 6426 eddy current sensors to form a measuring chain for static and dynamic distance measurement on rotating machinery. Applications include shaft displacement, radial vibration, axial position, eccentricity, and speed/key-pulse measurement.
The PR 6423 sensor family is used with the CON 041 converter for approximately 2 mm standard measuring range configurations. The converter and sensor are factory-adjusted as a measuring chain, so the exact sensor type and serial-number matching should be checked when replacing an installed unit.

⚙️ Key Features
- Eddy current measurement: Converts the sensor’s high-frequency eddy-current measurement into a proportional DC output signal.
- PR 6423 compatibility: The PR 6423/103-041 sensor is part of the PR 6422–PR 6426 sensor family supported by CON 041.
- Shaft vibration monitoring: Suitable for measuring dynamic radial shaft vibration on rotating machinery.
- Displacement measurement: Supports static and dynamic distance/displacement measurement.
- Axial position monitoring: Can be used for slow axial displacement measurements.
- Eccentricity measurement: The PR 6423 sensor family is listed by Emerson as a standard sensor option for eccentricity measurement.
- Speed and key-pulse measurement: Pulse wheels or shaft key marks can be used for rotational-speed and key-pulse detection.
- Matched sensor/converter system: EPRO specifies that probes and converters are adjusted together to achieve the intended measuring-chain accuracy.
- DIN-rail installation: The CON 041 is housed in a standard enclosure designed for DIN-rail mounting.
- Industrial rotating machinery: Suitable for monitoring turbine, compressor, pump, fan, and other rotating-machine shaft conditions.
🔧 Application
The EPRO CON 041 PR 6423/103-041 is intended for machinery condition-monitoring systems where non-contact measurement of shaft position or vibration is required. It can be integrated into monitoring systems for steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, pumps, fans, and other rotating equipment.
The converter receives the signal from the eddy current probe and provides a proportional output for downstream monitoring electronics. The output can be used by machinery protection or monitoring equipment to evaluate shaft displacement, vibration, or position.
For replacement applications, verify the complete CON 041 model, PR 6423 sensor type, sensor serial number, measuring range, output configuration, and existing monitoring-system requirements before installation.
