Product Description

The EPRO PR9376/000-001 is a non-contact Hall effect sensor designed for accurate speed and proximity measurements in industrial applications. Primarily used with rotating machinery, particularly turbomachinery, it provides a signal for monitoring speed, detecting direction of rotation, measuring slip, and detecting standstill. The sensor utilizes the Hall effect principle to detect the passage of ferromagnetic components, such as gear teeth, without physical contact. This non-contact method ensures long sensor life and reliable operation. The PR9376/000-001 is designed for harsh industrial environments and is typically connected via a cable.

Installation, Commissioning, and Maintenance

Installation: The PR9376/000-001 should be mounted securely, with the sensing face positioned at the appropriate distance from the target (typically a gear wheel or other rotating component). Refer to the EPRO documentation for specific mounting instructions and air gap requirements.

Commissioning: After installation, verify the sensor’s output signal and configure any associated monitoring or control systems.

Maintenance: Regular maintenance is generally minimal due to the non-contact nature of the sensor. Periodically inspect the sensor and cable for any signs of damage.
