G117 Slim-line linear inductive position sensor
Intrinsically safe, high-accuracy linear sensor with compact 19 mm design, ideal for hazardous areas and OEM integration.
Key features
- ATEX-certified for gas/vapour Zone 0 applications
- Robust 19 mm stainless steel housing
- Wear-free inductive technology
- Measuring range from 5 to 350 mm
- IP67 sealed for harsh environments
- Infinite resolution and stable performance
Performance highlights
The G117 is a compact, intrinsically safe linear position sensor that delivers precise and repeatable measurements. Designed with non-contact inductive technology, it ensures high reliability and infinite resolution, with a frequency response of over 10 kHz. Accuracy is guaranteed with a linearity of ±0.25% FSO.
Usage conditions
Certified for use in Class I, Zone 0 and Division 1 explosive gas environments (Ex ia IIC T4 Ga), the G117 performs reliably in temperatures from -40 °C to +80 °C. With full IP67 sealing and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel body, it is well-suited for demanding industrial and scientific applications.
Possible applications
- Cylinder and valve position measurement
- Hazardous area tank level monitoring
- Compact OEM systems for process control
- Oil & gas instrumentation
- Laboratory and test equipment in Zone 0 environments
