H100 Cylinder – Linear Position Sensor
Compact and rugged linear sensor for precise cylinder position feedback in hazardous areas. Ideal for demanding OEM applications requiring intrinsic safety and durability.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe for gas and dust (Zone 0 & 20)
- Custom stroke lengths from 5 mm to 800 mm
- Non-contacting inductive technology
- High accuracy with infinite resolution
- Rugged stainless steel housing, IP67 sealed
- Compatible with Althen G005 galvanic isolation amplifier
Performance highlights
The H100 linear position sensor combines high precision with intrinsic safety, making it ideal for use in explosive gas and dust environments. Designed with robust non-contacting inductive technology, the sensor ensures zero wear, infinite resolution, and excellent repeatability. It operates over a wide temperature range from -40°C to +80°C and supports stroke lengths between 5 mm and 800 mm.
Usage conditions
The H100 is CSA-approved for Class I, II, III Division 1 and Zone 0/20 environments. Its rugged stainless steel construction, fluoropolymer-sheathed probe, and IP67 sealing make it suitable for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder applications even in the harshest conditions.
