X120 Submersible cylinder linear position sensor intrinsically safe
High-pressure linear position sensor for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, intrinsically safe and built for hazardous gas/vapour atmospheres.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe for hazardous gas/vapour zones
- Sealing to IP68, 350 bar absolute
- Non-contact inductive technology for long life
- Calibrated travel from 0–800 mm
- High accuracy and stability over temperature
- Stainless steel housing and fluoropolymer-sheathed probe
Performance highlights
The X120 submersible cylinder linear position sensor delivers precise, stable, and repeatable displacement feedback in the harshest conditions. Using non-contact inductive technology, it ensures long service life with no wear and minimal maintenance.
Usage conditions
Certified ATEX / IECEx / UKEX for intrinsically safe use in explosive gas/vapour atmospheres, the X120 operates reliably at pressures up to 350 bar and temperatures from –40°C to +80°C. Its rugged stainless-steel construction and fluoropolymer-sheathed probe guarantee durability in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.
Possible applications
- Hydraulic cylinder position feedback in offshore equipment
- Pneumatic cylinder monitoring in hazardous zones
- Subsea and underwater actuator displacement measurement
- OEM solutions in oil & gas, chemical, and marine industries
Advantages of choosing this product
Engineers benefit from infinite resolution, fast frequency response (>10 kHz), and minimal noise (<0.02% FSO). Each unit is factory-calibrated to the required stroke (5–800 mm) with full EMC protection built in.
Other important features
- Independent linearity up to ±0.25% FSO
- EMC compliant to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-3
- Compact design for easy cylinder integration
- Custom mechanical mounting options available
