Emerson PR9350/08 Proximity Driver | Industrial Module

Product Description

Overview

The EPRO PR9350/08 is a proximity probe driver (oscillator/demodulator) from Emerson’s AMS / EPRO PR9350 series. It interfaces with eddy current displacement sensors such as the PR6422 and PR6423 series, converting raw probe signals into standardized voltage outputs that represent shaft vibration, axial position, and eccentricity.

This module is extensively used in turbomachinery monitoring systems, including steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors, pumps, and gearboxes. Moreover, its API 670 compliance ensures reliable operation in critical machinery protection environments. Its compact design allows easy installation in racks or cabinets, integrating seamlessly with Emerson monitoring platforms such as VM600 and AMS 6500.
