X502 Intrinsically safe small angle rotary sensor
Compact and rugged position sensor for small angle measurement in hazardous gas and vapour environments. Ideal for OEMs in industrial and scientific settings.
Key features
- Intrinsically safe to Ex II 1G (ATEX / IECEx / UKEX)
- Calibrated output range between 5° and 15°
- Rugged stainless steel housing with IP65/IP67 sealing
- Linear output, infinite resolution
- High vibration and shock resistance
- Customizable shaft, flange or servo mounting
Performance highlights
The X502 small angle rotary sensor offers exceptional accuracy and reliability for angle measurement in hazardous gas/vapour environments. Designed with a non-contact inductive sensing technology, it ensures wear-free operation and infinite resolution. With high EMC performance and a frequency response over 10 kHz, it provides fast and stable feedback even in demanding applications.
Usage conditions
This sensor operates reliably between -40°C and +80°C and is suitable for use in zones 0 to 2 (gas/vapour), meeting Ex ia IIC T4 Ga safety standards. The stainless steel construction and IP65/IP67 sealing ensure long-term durability even under harsh environmental conditions.
Possible applications
- Valve position feedback in oil & gas
- Robotics and actuator control in process automation
- Position monitoring in explosion-risk zones
- Small angle deflection sensing for scientific instrumentation
- Intrinsically safe feedback for OEM designs
Advantages of choosing this product
The X502 is factory calibrated to the required angle range (5° to 15°) and features a registration mark for accurate installation. It is optimized for minimal torque and low noise operation. With multiple connector and cable options, as well as flange or servo mounting, integration is quick and flexible. It is ideally paired with the X005 galvanic isolation amplifier for intrinsic safety compliance.
Other important features
- Intrinsic safety barrier required: X005 amplifier
- EMC compliance to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-3
- Shock and vibration tested to IEC 68 standards
- Full 360° mechanical shaft freedom
- MTBF > 350,000 hours at 40°Cns.
