H112 intrinsically safe gauge head position sensor
Compact and rugged linear sensor for safe operation in hazardous gas and dust areas. Ideal for precise gauge head positioning in industrial and OEM applications.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe for gas and dust atmospheres
- Non-contacting inductive technology
- Custom-calibrated travel from 5 to 50 mm
- High repeatability and stability
- Robust stainless steel housing
- Sealing to IP67 and wide temperature range
Performance highlights
The H112 gauge head position sensor offers a robust, high-performance linear measurement solution designed for use in hazardous environments. Leveraging non-contacting inductive technology, it delivers high accuracy and long-term stability with minimal wear.
Usage conditions
Certified for intrinsically safe use in Class I, II, III Division 1 and Zone 0/20 environments, this sensor operates reliably from -40 °C to +80 °C and meets IP67 protection standards. It integrates seamlessly in high-vibration, high-dust areas without risk of ignition.
Possible applications
- Gauge head positioning in industrial settings
- OEM solutions for hazardous areas
- Linear displacement monitoring in ATEX/IECEx zones
- Scientific measurement equipment in dust-prone environments
- Quality control and testing benches
Advantages of choosing this product
Its compact 19 mm diameter body and stainless steel construction make the H112 ideal for integration in confined or harsh environments. The unit is pre-calibrated to the customer’s desired stroke length and delivers a linear output of 0.5–4.5 V, ratiometric with supply voltage. Thanks to its spring-loaded plunger and robust mechanics, it ensures long service life with minimal maintenance.
