Performance highlights E103 Short stroke linear position sensor (intrinsically safe)

The E103 short stroke linear position sensor delivers reliable, contactless measurement in applications requiring compact form and certified intrinsic safety. Its inductive technology ensures durability without mechanical wear. With a frequency response above 10 kHz, it offers precise real-time feedback.

Usage conditions

This sensor is certified for use in ATEX/IECEx/UKEX hazardous areas (gas and dust, Zone 0/20). The rugged stainless steel housing and IP67 sealing support operation in harsh environments from -40 °C to +80 °C. Calibration can be set between 2 and 50 mm to match the required stroke.

Possible applications

• Valve and actuator position monitoring
• Pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder position feedback
• Equipment in oil & gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical zones
• OEM systems with space constraints
• Dust-prone environments (e.g., mills, silos, mixers)

Advantages of choosing this sensor

Designed for integration in compact hazardous area setups, the E103 offers consistent output across extreme temperatures and is resistant to shock (40 g) and vibration (10 g). It supports both 3-wire and 5-wire operation, enabling flexible installation up to 1000 m cable length.

Other important features

• EMC-compliant (EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3)
• MTBF: 350,000 hours at 40 °C
• Ratiometric 0.5–4.5 V output
• Custom mechanical and electrical configurations available
• Compatible with Althen X005 galvanic isolation amplifier
