Performance highlights E117 Linear inductive position sensor
The E117 slim-line linear position sensor provides accurate linear displacement feedback in hazardous environments. Its robust stainless steel body and contactless inductive technology ensure long-lasting stability and reliability. It offers excellent repeatability, a frequency response above 10 kHz, and an infinite resolution for precision measurement.
Usage conditions
The sensor operates from −40°C to +80°C and is sealed to IP67. With ATEX / IECEx / UKEX approval for gas and dust zones, it is safe for Zones 0, 1, 2 and 20. It supports both axial and radial mounting options and is compatible with a wide range of connection configurations.
Possible applications
- Process automation in hazardous areas
- Petrochemical and oil & gas facilities
- Industrial OEM equipment
- Position control in machinery
- Valve and actuator feedback
Advantages of choosing this linear position sensor
With its intrinsically safe design, the E117 is suitable for explosive atmospheres. Its modular build allows customization in travel length, push rod type, and cable connection. Easy integration and zero-maintenance operation make it ideal for space-constrained applications.
