Overview

The EZ1080-RM-00-010 is an 8 mm eddy current proximity sensor from Emerson’s AMS EZ1000 series, engineered for non-contact shaft vibration, displacement, and position monitoring in critical rotating equipment. It is widely used in turbines, compressors, pumps, and other high-value rotating machinery across oil & gas, chemical, and power generation industries.

Unlike fixed-cable variants such as EZ1080-04 / -05 / -08, the RM version features a removable, replaceable cable, making installation, routing, and maintenance significantly easier—especially in confined or high-temperature areas.

When paired with the EZ1000 Eddy Current Converter, it delivers high-accuracy, wide-bandwidth measurements essential for predictive maintenance and machine protection systems.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

Turbomachinery Monitoring
Provides continuous shaft vibration and displacement monitoring for steam, gas, and hydro turbines.

Compressor & Pump Diagnostics
Detects shaft eccentricity, radial displacement, and dynamic behavior.

Predictive Maintenance
Delivers early warning of misalignment, imbalance, rotor bow, and bearing wear.

Machine Protection Systems
Supports shutdown and trip logic in safety-critical rotating machinery.

Application Example
In a gas turbine, the EZ1080-RM-00-010 provides reliable shaft vibration feedback to prevent bearing failure and avoid unplanned downtime, while the removable cable simplifies periodic replacement.
