H114 Submersible linear inductive position sensor

Robust, fully submersible linear position sensor with intrinsic safety for hazardous areas. Custom stroke lengths and compact stainless-steel design.


Key features

  • Intrinsically safe for gas and dust zones
  • Fully submersible up to 100 meters
  • Custom stroke from 5 to 800 mm
  • High accuracy, infinite resolution
  • IP68 (10 bar) / IP69K sealed
  • Built-in EMC protection

Performance highlights

The H114 is a compact, stand-alone linear position sensor engineered for harsh and hazardous environments. Its non-contact inductive technology ensures zero wear, offering infinite resolution and high accuracy across a wide measurement range. Every unit is factory-calibrated to the customer’s specified stroke length, from 5 mm to 800 mm.

Usage conditions

Designed for continuous submersion and extreme industrial conditions, the H114 is intrinsically safe and rated for operation in Class I, Zone 0 and Class II, Zone 20 environments. It maintains stable performance from -40°C to +80°C, with ingress protection rated at IP68 (10 bar) and IP69K.

Possible applications

  • Hydraulic cylinder stroke monitoring
  • Subsea actuator position feedback
  • Oil & gas hazardous area measurement
  • Industrial automation with intrinsic safety requirements
  • Mobile machinery and vehicle systems

Advantages of choosing this product

The H114 offers the perfect balance between rugged mechanical design and high-end sensor performance. With fully integrated electronics and stainless-steel housing, it minimizes installation complexity while maximizing measurement reliability—even under water or in explosive dust/gas environments.

Other important features

  • CSA approved for hazardous dust & gas areas
  • EMC compliant (EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3)
  • Optional sprung push rod
  • Multiple push rod and mounting options
  • High shock (40g) and vibration (10g) resistance
  • MTBF of 350,000 hrs at 40°C
