Emerson EPRO CON021/914-100 Eddy Current Signal Converter

Overview

The EPRO CON021/914-100 is a high-precision eddy current signal converter designed for critical rotating machinery monitoring. It provides accurate measurement of shaft displacement, position, eccentricity, and speed/key signals. The device converts sensor outputs into standardized analog signals for seamless integration with monitoring and protection systems. Its compact, robust design and fast response make it ideal for steam, gas, and hydro turbines, as well as compressors, pumps, and fans.
