Performance highlights G111 Linear inductive position sensor
The G111 is a heavy-duty, intrinsically safe linear position sensor that offers excellent accuracy, stability, and durability. Designed to meet CSA standards for hazardous areas, it features non-contact inductive technology to ensure wear-free operation and long service life.
Usage conditions
Built for use in demanding industrial and scientific environments, the G111 performs reliably in explosive gas/vapour atmospheres (Class I, Zone 0, Division 1) and wide temperature ranges from -40°C to +80°C. It features IP65 or IP67 sealing depending on the selected cable or connector.
Possible applications
- Position monitoring in oil & gas environments
- Valve or actuator position sensing
- Cylinder stroke measurement
- Robotics and test benches in hazardous areas
- Harsh industrial automation tasks
Advantages of choosing this product
With a rugged stainless steel body and a 12.6 mm reinforced push rod, the G111 is ideal for vibration-heavy environments and long-travel horizontal installations. It delivers a highly linear output signal and can be customized for any stroke length up to 800 mm. Integrated EMC protection, infinite resolution, and high frequency response (>10 kHz) make this sensor reliable even under extreme conditions.
Other important features
- Compact form factor
- Spring-loaded options (extend or retract)
- Multiple electrical connection types (DIN, M12, cable glands)
- Captive or non-captive push rod
- Optional magnetic tip or rod eye fitting
- Built-in gain and offset adjustment
