X505 Intrinsically safe slim-line rotary sensor
Compact, durable rotary sensor for hazardous areas with high accuracy and long service life.
Key features
- ATEX / IECEx / UKEX approved for Zone 0
- Compact 19 mm diameter body
- Calibrated angle from 15° to 160°
- Non-contact inductive technology
- Stainless steel body and IP67 sealing
- 360° rotational freedom
Performance highlights
The X505 slim-line rotary sensor is designed for precision angle measurement in hazardous gas/vapour environments. Leveraging non-contact inductive technology, it ensures long service life and exceptional repeatability. It provides a linear, ratiometric 0.5–4.5V analog output over a user-defined measurement range.
Usage conditions
Certified for use in Zone 0 (Ex II 1G), the X505 sensor can operate in temperatures from -40°C to +80°C and withstands shock and vibration per IEC standards. Sealed to IP67, it resists harsh environments and is built with stainless steel components for durability.
Possible applications
- Valve position monitoring in oil & gas
- Industrial automation with explosion risk
- OEM equipment in hazardous areas
- Robotics or test benches in chemical environments
- Precision angular positioning systems
Advantages of choosing this product
This sensor combines compactness, safety, and precision. Its small 19 mm diameter body fits space-constrained applications. Output is factory-calibrated to the required range and installation is simplified via flange or servo mounting options. The X505 supports both 3- and 5-wire connections for voltage drop compensation on long cables.
Other important features
- Infinite resolution and low noise
- Torque < 15 mNm
- Frequency response >10 kHz
- EMC compliant per EN 61000 standards
- Fully isolated galvanic barrier support (X005 amplifier)
