G115 Submersible linear inductive position sensor

A rugged, intrinsically safe position sensor designed for harsh environments where full submersion, high accuracy, and long lifecycle are essential.


Key features

  • Intrinsically safe for gas/vapour environments (Class I, Zone 0)
  • High-performance inductive technology with no mechanical wear
  • Fully sealed to IP68 10bar and IP69K
  • Custom travel range from 5 to 800 mm
  • Stainless steel 316 housing and push rod
  • Infinite resolution and excellent temperature stability

Performance highlights

The G115 is a heavy-duty, intrinsically safe, and fully submersible linear position sensor designed to perform reliably in extreme environments. With a high-frequency response of >10 kHz and resolution rated as infinite, it delivers consistent, linear output over a wide travel range.

Usage conditions

Its rugged construction, including a stainless steel 316 body and push rod, ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial and marine settings. Certified for Class I, Zone 0 and Division 1 hazardous areas, the G115 operates between -40°C to +80°C and remains stable even under high vibration and shock.

Possible applications

  • Subsea and offshore measurement systems
  • Oil & gas instrumentation
  • Harsh industrial automation environments
  • Tank level measurement in hazardous areas
  • Marine actuator or cylinder positioning
  • Explosion-proof process machinery

Advantages of choosing this product

The G115 combines safety, durability, and precision in one compact unit. Its non-contact inductive technology eliminates mechanical wear and maintenance. With options for axial or radial cabling, multiple mounting types, and custom stroke lengths, it offers excellent adaptability for your application.

Other important features

  • EMC performance to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-3
  • MTBF: 350,000 hrs at 40°C
  • Vibration-resistant up to 10 g, shock up to 40 g
  • Optional spring-loaded push rod up to 300 mm
  • Cable lengths up to 150 m supported with 5-wire mode
