About the E502 Rotary Inductive Position Sensor
The E502 is a high-performance rotary sensor that uses non-contact inductive technology to provide stable and accurate angle feedback in explosive or hazardous dust/gas environments. It offers a linear output across a calibrated range from 5° to 15°, fully scalable to customer requirements.
Usage conditions
The sensor operates in a temperature range from -40°C to +80°C and is sealed to IP67 for use in dusty or wet environments. With infinite resolution and low noise (<0.02% FSO), it’s ideal for critical industrial or scientific feedback systems.
Possible applications
- OEM motion control in ATEX zones
- Valve position monitoring in chemical plants
- Rotary angle measurement in hazardous dust environments
- Feedback systems in oil & gas or mining equipment
- Scientific instrumentation with space constraints
Advantages of choosing this product
With intrinsic safety certifications (Ex II 1GD, Ex ia IIC T4 Ga, Ex ia IIIC T135°C Da), the E502 offers peace of mind and compliance in explosive environments. Its compact stainless steel construction, long life, and configurable output make it a versatile solution for demanding rotary measurement tasks. The servo or flange mount options simplify integration.
