Performance highlights E111 Linear inductive position sensor
The E111 offers precise linear position feedback in applications where vibration, dust, or explosive gases may be present. Its inductive, non-contact technology ensures minimal wear and long-term accuracy. The sensor is factory-calibrated to any travel length from 5 mm to 800 mm and delivers a ratiometric analog output of 0.5–4.5 V.
Usage conditions
The E111 is certified for use in hazardous zones (Ex II 1GD) and operates within a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C. Its rugged stainless steel body and IP67 sealing ensure protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical stress.
Possible applications
- Industrial process control
