X111 Rugged stand-alone linear position sensor
Heavy-duty linear position sensor for demanding industrial environments. ATEX/IECEx certified and highly resistant to vibration and wear.
Key features
- ATEX / IECEx / UKEX certified
- Custom travel range up to 800 mm
- Rugged stainless steel housing
- High accuracy with low temperature drift
- Non-contact inductive technology
- IP65 or IP67 sealing options
Performance highlights
The X111 sensor delivers a highly linear and stable output, with infinite resolution and a frequency response greater than 10 kHz. Designed with non-contact inductive technology, it ensures minimal wear and long service life even under heavy mechanical stress.
Usage conditions
The sensor operates in harsh environments with ambient temperatures from -40°C to +80°C. It is intrinsically safe for hazardous gas and vapour atmospheres and fully compliant with Ex II 1G standards. Sealing options (IP65 or IP67) make it suitable for outdoor and rugged applications.
Possible applications
- Position feedback on hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
- Valve position monitoring in explosive environments
- Test bench displacement measurements
- Subsea and offshore linear displacement monitoring
- Automotive and aerospace vibration-prone test setups
Advantages of choosing this product
With its heavy-duty construction and strong 12.6 mm push rod, the X111 is perfect for long travel lengths and high-vibration installations. Each sensor is custom-calibrated to the customer’s required stroke and is easy to install using multiple mounting options.
Other important features:
- EMC protection built-in
- Captive or free push rod designs
- Custom output options: 0.5–4.5 V ratiometric
- Compatible with Althen X005 galvanic isolation amplifier
- Spring-loaded push rod option (extend/retract)
