Product Overview
When critical turbomachinery requires precise, non-contact measurement, the Emerson EZ1080-16-11-010 410 eddy current sensor delivers reliable performance. Designed for steam, gas, and hydro turbines as well as compressors, gearboxes, pumps, and fans, this sensor measures radial and axial shaft dynamic displacement, position, eccentricity, and speed/key. Upgrade your existing monitoring system with this advanced replacement sensor that fits into standard 8mm mounting configurations.
Installation and Setup Guidance
The Emerson EZ1080-16-11-010 features an 8mm sensor with M10x1 threads and a 160mm sleeve length with 110mm unthreaded section, including a 1-meter FEP cable. Ensure proper mounting using recommended target materials such as 42CrMo4 or AISI/SAE 4140 steel. During installation, avoid cable strain and maintain the recommended initial air gap to secure accurate measurements. When used in hazardous environments, follow the converter documentation for area classification details. The sensor's stainless steel case and glass-fiber reinforced PEEK tip provide durability in harsh conditions.
Compatibility and Integration
This sensor integrates seamlessly with Emerson converters for continuous vibration monitoring. The EZ1080-16-11-010 holds multiple hazardous area approvals including ATEX, IECEx, CSA, and CCC-Ex, making it suitable for intrinsic safety and increased safety applications. It is also SIL 2 capable per IEC 61508, supporting safety-instrumented functions. Replacing older eddy current probes with this model enhances system reliability and accuracy.
Maintenance and Reliability
Regular inspection of the cable and connector ensures long-term performance. The FEP cable resists high temperatures and chemicals, while the nickel-plated brass connector maintains a secure electrical connection. The sensor's IP67 protection (with optional IP68 via DOC-TEST) safeguards against dust and water ingress. For critical applications, order a pressure seal test certificate separately. The robust design minimizes downtime and extends service intervals.
Selection Guide and Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the Emerson EZ1080-16-11-010, verify your system requires an M10x1 thread, 1-meter cable, and no armor. This model is an excellent drop-in replacement for existing 8mm sensors. For certified pressure testing, choose the DOC-TEST option. UBEST Automation (ubest101) supplies genuine Emerson sensors with fast worldwide shipping.
