G100 Intrinsically safe cylinder linear position sensor

Reliable and compact position sensor for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in hazardous gas environments

Key features

Intrinsically safe for hazardous gas zones (Ex ia IIC T4 Ga)
Calibrated travel from 0–800 mm
Rugged stainless steel design with IP65/IP67 protection
High accuracy and resolution
Output: 0.5 – 4.5V ratiometric (5V supply)
Infinite resolution and low noise < 0.02% FSO

Performance highlights

The G100 is a highly durable, compact, and intrinsically safe linear position sensor designed for hazardous gas/vapour environments (Class I, Zone 0 / Division 1). It offers non-contact inductive sensing technology, ensuring excellent stability, wear-free operation, and high reliability over a wide temperature range.

Usage conditions

Built to withstand harsh industrial applications, the G100 operates within temperatures from -40°C to +80°C, with pressure resistance up to 350 bar. The sensor is housed in stainless steel and sealed to IP65/IP67 depending on the chosen connection type. It integrates easily into hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders via threaded mounting options and target tube assemblies.

Possible applications:

Position feedback in hydraulic cylinders
OEM systems in hazardous gas/vapour zones
Process automation in oil & gas
Mobile machinery in explosive environments
Pneumatic actuators in chemical plants

Advantages of choosing this product

This sensor is calibrated to the exact travel length required (0–5 mm up to 0–800 mm), ensuring high flexibility for integration. With infinite resolution, a frequency response >10 kHz, and optional tighter linearity, the G100 offers outstanding measurement precision and long service life. It's designed for use with the G005 galvanic isolation amplifier to maintain intrinsic safety.

Other important features:

EMC compliant to EN 61000-6-2 / 6-3
MTBF: 350,000 hours at 40°C
CSA certified (EX08 electronics system)
Optional 3- or 5-wire configuration
Target tube options for flush or flange installation
