X103 Short Stroke Linear Position Sensor

X103 Short Stroke Linear Position Sensor

The Intrinsically Safe X103 is ATEX and IECEx approved for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour atmospheres. It is designed for a wide range of industrial applications and is ideal for OEMs seeking good sensor performance in situations where a short-bodied sensor is required for operation in hazardous areas.

  • Compact and space-efficient, being responsive along almost its entire length.
  • Provides a linear output proportional to displacement
  • Output calibrated to the travel required, from  0-2mm to 0-50mm and with full EMC protection built in
  • Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range
  • The sensor has a rugged stainless steel body and plunger
  • It is easy to install and set up, mounting options include flange and body clamps
  • The plunger can be supplied free or captive, with female M4 thread, or spring-loaded with a ball end
  • Wide range of mechanical options, environmental sealing is to IP65 or IP67

Positek intrinsically safe sensors are designed to be used with a galvanically isolated amplifier .  Approved galvanic isolation amplifiers (X005) are available from Positek; there is a choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs.

The sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 1km between the sensor and the amplifier.
