H111 Rugged stand-alone linear position sensor
Explosion-proof linear position sensor with high accuracy and long travel for hazardous gas and dust environments. Designed for durability and precision in industrial feedback systems.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe for gas and dust zones
- High durability with stainless steel housing
- Customizable stroke length from 5 mm to 800 mm
- IP67 sealing for harsh environments
- Infinite resolution and high linearity
- Optional sprung push rod and mechanical fittings
Performance highlights
The H111 rugged linear position sensor offers exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and infinite resolution, making it ideal for industrial and scientific applications. It provides a linear analog output proportional to displacement, with independent linearity of ±0.25% up to 450 mm and ±0.5% up to 800 mm.
Usage conditions
Built to withstand harsh environments, the H111 features full EMC protection, IP67-rated sealing, and a robust stainless steel body and push rod. It operates reliably in a temperature range from -40°C to +80°C and is certified for use in explosive gas and dust atmospheres (Class I, II, III, Zone 0/20, Division 1).
Possible applications
- Hazardous environments (gas/vapour/dust)
- Oil & gas and mining equipment
- Industrial automation systems
- Valve and actuator position feedback
- R&D testing and validation setups
Advantages of choosing this product
The H111 offers long-term durability with minimal maintenance due to its non-contacting inductive technology. Its compact design enables space-saving integration, while various mounting and electrical options allow tailored configurations. Every unit is factory-calibrated to the customer’s required travel length.
Other important features
- Galvanic isolation amplifier compatibility (e.g., G005)
- 3- or 5-wire connection options for improved accuracy
- Vibration-resistant design with thick 12.6 mm push rod
- Multiple output and connection types (M12, cable glands)
- Spring-loaded options (extend or retract) available up to 300 mm stroke
