Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the maximum temperature for continuous operation?

The sensor body withstands temperatures up to 180°C continuously. The cable and connector can handle 150°C maximum temperature.

• How does the sensor perform in high-vibration environments?

Its robust construction and M10x1 mounting thread provide excellent vibration resistance. This ensures stable performance in demanding applications.

• What target materials work best with this eddy current sensor?

Ferromagnetic steels like AISI 4140, 4340, and 1035 provide optimal performance. The sensor requires conductive, magnetic materials for proper operation.

• Can this sensor measure through non-metallic barriers?

No, the eddy current principle requires direct exposure to conductive targets. Non-metallic materials between sensor and target will prevent measurements.

• What maintenance does the EZ1080-18-08-010 require?

The sensor needs no regular maintenance beyond periodic calibration verification. Keep the sensing surface clean and check cable integrity regularly.
