E130 Long stroke in-cylinder linear position sensor

Rugged, intrinsically safe position feedback for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Calibrated to your stroke with stable, linear 0.5–4.5 V output.


Key features

  • Intrinsically safe ex ii 1gd (atex/iecex/ukex)
  • 0.5–4.5 v ratiometric output, 5 v supply
  • Custom travel 400–1485 mm, linear output
  • High durability, stainless steel build, ip67
  • Up to 350 bar cylinder pressure capable
  • Five-wire option for long cable runs

Performance highlights Long stroke in-cylinder linear position sensor

The e130 uses non-contact inductive technology for wear-free measurement and excellent repeatability over a wide temperature range. It offers a linear 0.5–4.5 v output proportional to travel, with frequency response >10 khz and noise <0.02% fso. Independent linearity is up to ±0.25% fso (≤450 mm), ±0.5% (≤600 mm) and ±1% (>600 mm).

Usage conditions

Approved ex ii 1gd (ex ia iic t4 ga and ex ia iiic t135°c da), operating −40…+80 °c, storage −40…+125 °c, sealing ip67. Designed for in-cylinder mounting and qualified for 350 bar hydraulic environments. Use with a galvanic isolation barrier (x005) for intrinsically safe installations.

Possible applications

  • Cylinder position feedback on mobile hydraulics
  • Process plant actuators in dust or gas zones
  • Pneumatic cylinder stroke monitoring
  • Long-stroke industrial presses and jacks

Advantages of choosing this product

Compact body with near full-length responsiveness simplifies integration. Travel is factory-set to your requirement, reducing setup time. Five-wire sensing compensates cable losses for accurate readings on long runs. Stainless steel construction and fluoropolymer-sheathed probe support long service life.

Other important features

  • Body Ø35 mm; body length 43 mm to seal face
  • Target tube length = travel + 30 mm; Ø9.45 mm
  • M20×1.5, 3/4-16 unf, or m18×1.5 mounting threads
  • Connector m12 or cable gland options; 3- or 5-core cables
