Performance highlights

The X130 is a robust, high-accuracy linear position sensor that uses non-contact inductive technology, eliminating wear and maximizing sensor life. It delivers a linear output signal proportional to the calibrated stroke length and features exceptional repeatability and stability across a wide temperature range.

Usage conditions

Designed for use in potentially explosive gas or vapour atmospheres (Ex II 1G), the X130 sensor meets ATEX, IECEx, and UKEX certifications. It operates reliably from -40°C to +80°C and offers sealing options up to IP67. The stainless-steel housing and fluoropolymer-sheathed probe ensure durability in harsh industrial environments, including hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder installations.

Possible applications

• Hydraulic cylinder position monitoring
• Pneumatic actuator feedback
• OEM cylinder integration in hazardous zones
• Oil & gas automation systems
• Energy sector and mobile machinery
