G118 Short-Stroke Slim-Line Linear Position Sensor
EX-certified, space-saving linear sensor for compact hazardous gas environments.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe (Class I, Zone 0 / Division 1)
- Ultra-slim 19 mm stainless steel body
- Inductive, contactless sensing – wear-free
- Calibrated strokes from 2 to 50 mm
- Ratiometric 0.5–4.5 V output
- Sealing: IP67, EMC-compliant
- Compact design for tight OEM integration
Performance highlights
The G118 is a high-precision, short-stroke linear position sensor engineered for hazardous environments requiring compact sensing solutions. Designed with robust EX08 electronics, it is intrinsically safe for Class I, Zone 0 and Division 1 gas atmospheres, ensuring dependable operation in explosive settings.
Usage conditions
With a durable Ø19 mm stainless steel housing and environmental protection up to IP67, the G118 is ideal for OEMs needing space-efficient designs. It performs reliably across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +80°C), with infinite resolution, <0.02% FSO noise, and ±0.25% linearity accuracy.
Possible applications:
- Compact valve position feedback
- ATEX-rated process automation
- OEM integration in hazardous machinery
- Explosion-proof actuator monitoring
- Compact robotics in oil & gas
- Intrinsically safe feedback for test rigs
