Performance highlights

The X118 delivers precise, repeatable linear position measurements in environments where intrinsic safety is critical. With a compact 19 mm housing and non-contact inductive technology, the sensor offers high durability, infinite resolution, and linearity better than ±0.25% FSO at 20°C.

Usage conditions

• Operating temperature: -40°C to +80°C
• Certified for use in hazardous zones (ATEX / IECEx / UKEX)
• EMC performance per EN 61000-6-2 / 6-3
• Designed for use with Althen’s X005 galvanic isolation amplifier for optimal performance

Possible applications

• Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder position feedback
• OEM machine integration in hazardous areas
• Short stroke position sensing in chemical or oil & gas industries
• Valve and actuator monitoring systems
• Research test benches for high-accuracy short displacement measurement

Advantages of choosing this product

This sensor is ideal when compact design, safety compliance, and high-performance feedback are essential. It's factory calibrated for custom travel lengths, includes EMC protection, and can be combined with Althen’s signal conditioning for turnkey integration.

Other important features

• Flange, rod-eye, or clamp mounting options
• Plunger with M4/M5 thread, magnetic tip, or spring load
• Three or five-wire mode for long cable runs (up to 1000m)
• Ratiometric analog output: 0.5 - 4.5 V
