X138 Mid stroke slim-line linear position sensor
Compact and intrinsically safe position sensor with configurable stroke lengths from 51 to 100 mm. Ideal for hazardous gas and vapour environments.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe for gas and vapour (Ex II 1G)
- Non-contacting inductive technology
- Compact 19 mm stainless steel housing
- Customizable travel range from 51 to 100 mm
- High linearity ≤ ±0.25% FSO at 20°C
- Sealing to IP67 for harsh environments
Performance highlights
The X138 is a robust and intrinsically safe linear position sensor built for use in hazardous environments where gas or vapour may be present. Featuring non-contacting inductive technology, it offers infinite resolution, excellent stability, and outstanding repeatability. The sensor outputs a ratiometric analog signal (0.5 – 4.5 V), factory-calibrated to customer-defined travel lengths between 51 mm and 100 mm.
Usage conditions
The X138 is ATEX / IECEx / UKEX certified (Ex II 1G) and suitable for ambient temperatures from -40°C to +80°C. It features full EMC protection and an IP67-sealed stainless steel body for optimal durability in demanding industrial settings.
Possible applications
- Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder feedback
- Valve and actuator position sensing
- Motion monitoring in oil & gas environments
- Mobile hydraulics in hazardous zones
- Linear displacement feedback in test benches
