H133 Intrinsically safe mid stroke linear position sensor
A rugged inductive position sensor designed for hazardous areas, offering high precision and customizable stroke lengths.
Key features
- Certified for use in explosive gas and dust zones
- Compact and short-bodied sensor design
- High linearity with low temperature drift
- Calibrated to exact stroke requirements
- IP67-rated environmental protection
- Multiple mechanical mounting and plunger options
Performance highlights
The H133 sensor delivers reliable and repeatable linear position measurement in explosive environments. It features a non-contact inductive sensing technology for wear-free performance and infinite resolution. With a linearity of ≤ ±0.25% FSO at 20°C and excellent thermal stability (< ±0.01%/°C), it is well-suited for demanding industrial applications.
Usage conditions
Designed for Class I, II, III Division 1 and Zone 0, 20 environments, the H133 operates in a wide temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. It is sealed to IP67 and complies with EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-3 EMC standards.
Possible applications
- Hydraulic cylinder stroke monitoring
- Valve and actuator position sensing
- Oil & gas environments (ATEX/IECEx/CSA)
- Industrial automation in hazardous zones
- Process control instrumentation
Advantages of choosing this product
With CSA-approved intrinsic safety and compact dimensions, the H133 is ideal where space is limited and safety is critical. It supports tailored calibrations and mounting configurations to match application-specific needs, all backed by Althen’s engineering expertise.
