Performance highlights G101 Linear inductive position sensor
The G101 is a highly reliable, intrinsically safe linear position sensor designed for use in hazardous gas or vapour environments. With non-contacting inductive technology, it offers infinite resolution and stable linear output. It supports strokes from 5 mm up to 800 mm, with outstanding linearity (≤ ±0.25% FSO up to 450 mm and ≤ ±0.5% beyond).
Usage conditions
Designed to operate between -40°C and +80°C, the G101 is certified for Class I, Zone 0 and Division 1 (Groups A-D), making it ideal for industrial, scientific, and OEM use. It features a rugged stainless steel body and rod, EMC protection, and is sealed to IP65 or IP67, depending on the connector or cable configuration.
Possible applications
- Industrial automation in ATEX/IECEx areas
- Valve and actuator position feedback
- Oil and gas installations
- Chemical plant monitoring
- Hazardous test environments
Advantages of choosing this sensor
The G101 delivers robust performance in explosive environments. Its compact, durable design allows easy installation in space-limited or harsh areas. The sensor is individually calibrated to the required stroke length and comes with a wide range of mechanical and electrical configurations, including pre-wired and connector versions.
Other important features
- Spring-loaded push rod options (extend/retract)
- Captive or non-captive push rod
- Multiple output types (0.5–4.5V ratiometric)
- Galvanic isolation amplifier recommended
- CSA certified EX08 electronics
