H115 Rugged submersible linear inductive position sensor
Compact and intrinsically safe linear position sensor with non-contact inductive technology, ideal for harsh and hazardous environments.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe for gas and dust
- IP68 sealed for 10 bar submersion
- Custom travel range from 5 mm to 800 mm
- High accuracy and repeatability
- Made of 316 stainless steel
- Optional sprung-loaded push rod
Performance highlights
The H115 is a robust, submersible linear position sensor designed for environments where durability, accuracy, and explosion safety are critical. Utilizing non-contact inductive technology, it eliminates mechanical wear while maintaining excellent stability and linearity across its full stroke.
Usage conditions
Built with a 316 stainless steel body and push rod, the H115 performs reliably under extreme conditions including full submersion (IP68 10 bar) and hazardous dust or gas zones (Class I/II/III Division 1). Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +80°C.
Possible applications
- Subsea displacement monitoring
- Valve or actuator position feedback
- Oil & gas drilling equipment
- Offshore or onshore hazardous installations
- Test benches requiring explosion-proof sensors
Advantages of choosing this product
The H115 offers superior mechanical strength, a compact housing, and flexible configuration for installation. It is calibrated to customer-specified stroke lengths and offers both axial and radial cable exit options. With intrinsically safe EX08 electronics and CSA certification, it ensures safe operation in explosive atmospheres.
Other important features
- Linear output proportional to stroke
- Customizable push rod fittings: M8 thread, dome, magnetic tip
- Optional rod eye mounting
- EMC protection built-in
- Compatible with Althen’s G005 galvanic barrier
- Infinite resolution, low noise <0.02% FSO
