Performance highlights G103 Linear Inductive Position Sensor

The G103 uses non-contact inductive technology to deliver a linear, repeatable signal across its calibrated stroke. Independent linearity is ≤ ±0.25% fso at 20 °c, with low temperature coefficients for gain and offset. Frequency response exceeds 10 kHz for responsive measurement, while noise remains below 0.02% fso.

Usage conditions

Approved as ex ia iic t4 (class i, zone 0) and class i, division 1 groups a–d for operation between −40 to +80 °c. The sensor achieves ip65 or ip67 sealing depending on cable/connector choice and is tested to 10 g vibration and 40 g shock. Use with a galvanic isolation amplifier; althen recommends the g005 barrier.

Possible applications

• Valve position feedback in classified areas
• Short-stroke actuator and cylinder feedback
• Test rigs and fixtures with limited space
• Process equipment interlocks and motion checks

Advantages of choosing this product

A compact stainless steel body, short overall length, and flexible mounting—flange, body clamps, or rod-eye—make installation straightforward. Five-wire mode is supported for long cable runs to maintain full accuracy via remote sense with the galvanic isolation amplifier.

Other important features

• Output: 0.5–4.5 v ratiometric at 5 v supply
• Calibrated travel: 2–50 mm in 1 mm steps
• Options: sprung plunger, dome end, magnetic tip, m5 rod-eye
• Cable/connector choices incl. din 43650 c and m12 iec 61076-2-101
• Gain/offset trim available on axial versions
