Performance highlights of the M130 intrinsically safe long stroke linear position sensor
The M130 is a highly durable, non-contact linear position sensor built for harsh environments. Its inductive technology ensures wear-free operation with excellent accuracy, repeatability, and long-term stability, even under extreme temperature fluctuations.
Usage conditions
Certified ATEX / IECEx / UKEX for Ex I/II M1/GD, the M130 is intrinsically safe for gas, dust, and mining zones. It operates reliably from -40 °C to +80 °C, and is sealed to IP67. The rugged design includes a stainless steel housing and probe with fluoropolymer sheath.
Possible applications
- Hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders in mining equipment
- In-cylinder position feedback in hazardous industrial automation
- Oil & gas field systems
- Underground vehicle hydraulics
- Process control in explosive gas/vapour environments
Advantages of choosing this product
Unlike traditional contacting position sensors, the M130 eliminates mechanical wear with its contactless inductive design. With configurable stroke lengths up to 1485 mm and high EMC protection, it is a reliable OEM choice for demanding safety-critical systems.
