Avoid safety risks and downtime
Finding the right ATEX-certified sensor is not easy. Strict certifications, limited availability and demanding specifications often leave engineers with very few options. In many cases, the required sensor simply does not exist.
At Althen, we combine a broad portfolio of certified sensors with in-house engineering expertise.
If a standard solution does not meet your requirements, we work with you to develop a customised solution that fits your application.
We offer:
- Wide range of ATEX And IECEx certified sensors
- Support for Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2
- Custom sensor development for OEM applications
- Engineering support throughout your project
Get tailored ATEX sensor advice within 48H
We don’t just supply sensors. We support your engineering process. Whether you are in the early design phase or validating a solution, our specialists help you select, adapt or develop the right sensor.
We solve your ATEX sensor challenge
ATEX sensors are engineered to prevent ignition risks while maintaining accurate measurement performance.
Most projects fail because:
- Sensors do not meet the required specifications
- Certification limits the available options
- Standard products do not fit the application
We solve this by combining standard solutions with custom engineering.

Case: Reliability at depths of 3.5 km
Underwater position measurement of hydraulic valves
Subsea pipelines are equipped with hydraulic valves to control the flow of liquid or gas that is going through the pipeline. Our submersible intrinsically safe inductive position sensors are designed to operate underwater down to 3,5 km depth.
Due to the sealed 316 stainless steel housing and contactless sensing technology, these sensors offer high reliability and high accuracy even in the harshest environments.
