G111 Linear inductive position sensor

Intrinsically safe inductive position sensor designed for harsh industrial environments. High durability, non-contact measurement, and customized travel ranges.


Key features

  • Intrinsically safe for gas/vapour zones
  • Custom stroke length from 5 mm to 800 mm
  • Highly durable stainless steel housing
  • IP65/IP67 sealing options
  • Infinite resolution and high frequency response
  • Captive or free push rod configurations

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
