Description
Product Description
Overview
The EZ1080-RM-00-010 from Emerson is a precision eddy current displacement sensor system designed for high-performance machinery monitoring. This configuration is optimized for radial vibration measurement, axial position detection, and shaft speed monitoring in turbines, compressors, and pumps. The RM designation indicates a rack-mounted or remote monitor setup, with a matched probe, cable, and driver calibrated for a total system length of 10 meters and a 10 mm probe tip.
System Composition
-
Probe: Rugged sensor head suitable for harsh industrial conditions.
-
Extension Cable: Low-capacitance cable maintaining signal integrity over long runs.
-
Driver/Transmitter: Converts eddy current variations into precise linear voltage or current outputs.
Key Performance Features
High Accuracy and Linearity
The system delivers highly linear responses across its measurement range, accurately detecting micrometer-scale shaft movements for real-time monitoring and analysis.
Durable Industrial Design
-
Pressure Resistance: Sealed probe tip for high-pressure machine environments.
-
Chemical Resistance: Operates reliably in contact with lubricants and hydraulic fluids.
-
Temperature Stability: Maintains minimal thermal drift across operational ranges.
Wide Frequency Response
Capable of capturing low-speed “slow roll” signals and high-frequency vibration components, suitable for high-speed rotating machinery.
Matched Calibration
Components are factory-matched to ensure the probe, cable, and driver function together accurately without additional field calibration.
API 670 Compliance
Designed to meet or exceed API 670 standards for machinery protection systems in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.

Applications
The EZ1080-RM-00-010 is essential for machinery health monitoring. It detects minute changes in the shaft-to-probe gap, providing early alerts for bearing wear, imbalance, or misalignment, helping prevent costly mechanical failures.
FAQ
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature of the probe?
A: The probe can reliably operate up to 175°C.
Q: Can this system be used for both radial and axial measurements?
A: Yes, the system is designed to monitor radial vibration, axial position, and speed simultaneously.
Q: How does the -00-010 designation affect system setup?
A: It indicates a matched calibration for a 10 mm probe tip and a total 10-meter system length, ensuring plug-and-play accuracy.
Comparison with Other EZ1080 Variants
Compared to -RM-00-005 or -RM-00-015, the -00-010 provides a mid-range cable length for flexible installation while maintaining matched sensor-driver accuracy.
