Product Overview
When unexpected turbine downtime threatens production targets, the Emerson EZ1080-23-18-010 eddy current sensor delivers rugged, non-contact measurement of shaft dynamic displacement, position, eccentricity, and speed. Designed for steam, gas, and hydro turbines, compressors, gearboxes, pumps, and fans, this 8mm probe helps plant operators reduce unplanned outages and maintenance costs.
The Emerson EZ1080-23-18-010 uses advanced eddy current technology to sense target motion without physical contact, eliminating wear and extending service life. This translates directly to lower total cost of ownership and improved return on investment for critical machinery monitoring.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Mount the Emerson EZ1080-23-18-010 using its M10x1 case threads and 230 mm sleeve length. The 180 mm unthreaded section provides flexibility in probe positioning. A 1 m cable connects the sensor to the converter. Ensure the target area meets the recommended minimum shaft diameter and material compatibility (e.g., 42CrMo4, 4140, or equivalent ferromagnetic steel). Proper initial air gap adjustment is essential for linear output. Always verify that the sensor tip is clean and free of debris before installation.
Maintenance and Reliability
The Emerson EZ1080-23-18-010 is built for harsh environments. With IP67 protection (IP68 with DOC-TEST), it resists dust and water ingress. The sensor tip operates from -35 °C to +180 °C, while the cable and connector handle -35 °C to +150 °C. This wide temperature range ensures reliable performance in turbomachinery surroundings. The non-contact design eliminates mechanical wear, reducing the need for routine recalibration and replacements. Periodic visual inspection of the cable and connector is recommended, but no field adjustment is required under normal conditions.
Compatibility and Integration
This sensor integrates with EZ1000 series converters to form a complete measurement chain. The Emerson EZ1080-23-18-010 carries extensive hazardous area approvals, including ATEX, IECEx, CSA, CCC-Ex, KTL Korea, CML Japan, and CCOE PESO India for both Intrinsic Safety (ia) and Increased Safety (ec). It is also SIL 2 capable per IEC 61508, making it suitable for safety-instrumented functions in critical applications. Marine classification by DNV GL is available for offshore use.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
When ordering the Emerson EZ1080-23-18-010, verify the required cable length, armored option (this model has no armor), and thread size. Confirm converter compatibility with your system’s output requirements. For reliable sourcing, choose UBEST Automation – your trusted supplier of industrial automation spares.
