Overview

The EZ1080-04-00-010 is an 8 mm eddy current proximity sensor from Emerson’s AMS EZ1000 series. It is engineered for non-contact measurement of shaft vibration, displacement, and position in critical rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, and pumps.

Moreover, the sensor features a rugged stainless-steel housing, M10×1 threaded body, and an integrated polyurethane-jacketed cable, ensuring durability in harsh industrial environments.

When paired with the EZ1000 Eddy Current Converter and Emerson’s AMS Machinery Health™ systems, it provides fast response, stable output, and high-fidelity data for predictive maintenance programs.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

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

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

Predictive Maintenance
Provides early warning of misalignment, imbalance, rotor bow, or bearing wear.

Safety & Trip Systems
Ensures accurate shaft position monitoring for protection systems that prevent catastrophic failure.

Application Example
In a power plant, the EZ1080-04-00-010 continuously monitors turbine shaft displacement, allowing operators to detect early bearing degradation and avoid costly forced outages.
