Overview

The EZ1080-08-00-010 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, this sensor provides high-accuracy measurements with fast response, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Moreover, its stainless-steel housing, M10×1 threaded body, and polyurethane-jacketed shielded cable ensure long-term durability in oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical, and power generation applications.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

Turbomachinery Monitoring
Real-time shaft vibration and displacement monitoring for steam, gas, and hydro turbines.

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

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

Safety & Shutdown Systems
Delivers precise shaft position feedback for trip systems and protection relays, preventing catastrophic failures.

Application Example
In a gas turbine, the EZ1080-08-00-010 continuously measures shaft vibration and displacement, enabling operators to identify early bearing degradation and avoid unplanned downtime.
