X133 Mid stroke linear position sensor
Compact and intrinsically safe linear sensor designed for reliable displacement measurements in hazardous gas or vapour environments.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe for ATEX/IECEx/UKEX Zone 0
- Wear-free inductive sensing technology
- Configurable stroke length (51 to 100 mm)
- Stainless steel construction with IP65/IP67 sealing
- EMC protected with infinite resolution
- Compact body with multiple mounting options
Performance highlights
The X133 mid-stroke linear position sensor offers precise and stable measurement in environments where explosive gas or vapour atmospheres are present. Its non-contact inductive sensing technology ensures no wear, excellent repeatability, and long life with minimal maintenance.
Usage conditions
Certified to ATEX, IECEx, and UKEX standards, the X133 sensor is designed for Zone 0 use (Ex II 1G), with a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. Its rugged stainless steel housing and environmental sealing up to IP67 make it ideal for harsh industrial conditions.
Possible applications
- Oil & gas environments (hazardous areas)
- Industrial automation systems
- Position feedback in compact OEM machinery
- Valve or actuator monitoring
- Test rigs in explosion-prone atmospheres
Advantages of choosing this product
With configurable travel ranges, multiple output and mounting options, and compatibility with the Althen X005 galvanic isolation amplifier, the X133 provides excellent flexibility and safety. It is calibrated per customer specification and supports both 3-wire and 5-wire connections for optimal accuracy, even over long cable lengths.
