S114 Submersible Stand-Alone Linear Position Sensor

Submersible linear sensor for industrial use with wear-free inductive technology and robust stainless-steel design.


Key features

  • Submersible to IP68 10 bar/IP69K
  • Travel range up to 800 mm
  • High durability with stainless steel housing
  • Wear-free inductive technology
  • Infinite resolution and high accuracy
  • EMC compliant and vibration-resistant

Performance highlights S114 (Submersible) Linear inductive position sensor

The S114 is a high-accuracy, submersible linear position sensor using non-contacting inductive technology to eliminate wear. With infinite resolution, low noise, and excellent stability, the S114 delivers reliable output in harsh environments. It features a stainless-steel body and push rod for optimal durability and long service life.

Usage conditions

Designed for complete submersion, the S114 withstands up to 10 bar pressure (100 m depth) and offers environmental protection up to IP69K. Its operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and scientific environments.

Possible applications

  • Underwater and marine systems
  • Industrial automation in harsh environments
  • Hydraulic actuator feedback
  • Renewable energy systems
  • Oil & gas and offshore applications
  • Test benches and R&D labs

Advantages of choosing this product

The S114 combines the precision of inductive sensing with the robustness of a fully submersible stainless-steel housing. Unlike potentiometric sensors or bulky LVDTs, it offers compact dimensions, easy installation, and high performance without the need for signal conditioning. Althen’s customization capabilities allow tailored travel lengths, mounting options, and output types for application-specific integration.

Other important features

  • Factory-set stroke from 5 mm to 800 mm
  • Various analog output types (e.g., 0.5–4.5V, ±10V, 4–20mA)
  • Multiple push rod fittings: rod eye, dome end, magnetic tip
  • Options for spring-loaded return and captive/non-captive rods
  • High MTBF (350,000 hrs @ 40°C)
  • Output calibration per customer spec
