Overview

The EZ1080-05-00-010 is an 8 mm eddy current proximity sensor from Emerson’s AMS EZ1000 series. It is engineered for non-contact shaft vibration, displacement, and position monitoring in critical rotating equipment such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Working together with the EZ1000 Eddy Current Converter, it delivers high-accuracy measurements and fast response suitable for industrial environments where equipment reliability and early fault detection are essential.

Moreover, its stainless-steel housing, M10×1 threaded body, and polyurethane-jacketed cable ensure long-term durability in harsh environments including refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

Turbomachinery Monitoring
Used for continuous vibration and displacement monitoring on steam, gas, and hydro turbines.

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

Predictive Maintenance
Provides early detection of misalignment, imbalance, rotor bow, and bearing wear.

Safety & Trip Systems
Supports shutdown protection systems by delivering accurate shaft position data to avoid catastrophic failures.

Application Example
In a gas turbine, the EZ1080-05-00-010 provides continuous shaft vibration monitoring, enabling operators to identify early signs of bearing wear and prevent unexpected outages.
