Performance highlights E112 Intrinsically safe linear gauge head sensor
The E112 intrinsically safe gauge head sensor offers non-contact linear measurement with exceptional accuracy and durability. Designed for use in hazardous gas and dust environments (Ex II 1GD), it uses inductive technology to eliminate wear, delivering repeatable performance even under extreme conditions.
Usage conditions
With robust IP67 sealing and stainless steel construction, the E112 operates reliably from -40 °C to +80 °C and stores up to +125 °C. It is ideal for environments requiring certified sensors in ATEX/IECEx zones 0 and 20.
Possible applications
- Gauge head positioning in industrial test benches
- Scientific measurement setups in hazardous zones
- OEM integration in equipment for ATEX environments
- R&D sensor systems for linear travel feedback
- Monitoring systems in dusty or explosive atmospheres
