Performance highlights E115 Rugged submersible linear position sensor
The E115 is a heavy-duty, intrinsically safe linear position sensor built for reliable operation in submerged and hazardous environments. With ratiometric 0.5–4.5V output, infinite resolution, and a high frequency response of >10kHz, it delivers stable, accurate measurement from 5 to 800 mm. Temperature stability is ensured with a gain coefficient of <±0.01%/°C.
Usage conditions
This sensor is certified for gas and dust atmospheres up to Ex II 1GD and operates in temperatures from -40°C to +80°C. It features rugged 316 stainless steel construction and is sealed to IP68 (10 bar) and IP69K, allowing continuous submersion at up to 100 meters.
