Everight Position is your expert partner in navigating UL, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx-certified linear, rotary, and inclinometer sensors. We help safety engineers make the right choice with confidence.
Standard derived from Europe, but acceptable for many US applications. Broadest variety of sensor options, including sensors for mining.
Most common US testing standard. Based on Class, Division ratings, when flammable gases, combustible dust, and volatile chemicals
Certified sensors for temperature, level, flow, and vibration, ensuring safe performance across a wide range of industrial needs.
Engineered to prevent sparks and excessive heat. These devices operate safely where there is a continuous presence of a hazard.
Choosing the right sensor for a hazardous environment requires considering both the measurement requirements and the applicable hazardous-location requirements. Everight can help identify sensor options that meet the technical requirements of the application and carry appropriate certifications for the intended environment.

The intrinsically safe G101 is CSA approved for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour atmospheres. It is designed for industrial and scientific feedback applications and is ideal for OEMs seeking good sensor performance for arduous applications in hazardous areas. The unit is highly compact and space-efficient, being responsive along almost its entire length.
The G101, like all Positek sensors, provides a linear output proportional to displacement. Each unit is supplied with the output calibrated to the travel required by the customer, from 0-5mm to 0-800mm and with full EMC protection built in. The sensor is very robust, the body and push rod being made of stainless steel for long service life and environmental resistance.
Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. The sensor is easy to install with mounting options including M5 rod eye bearings and body clamps. The push rod can be supplied free or captive, with female M5 thread, an M5 rod eye, or dome end, Captive push rods can be sprung loaded, in either direction, on sensors up to 300mm of travel. Environmental sealing is to IP65 or IP67, depending on selected cable or connector options.
Positek intrinsically safe sensors are designed to be used with a galvanically isolated amplifier . Approved galvanic isolation amplifiers (G005) are available from Positek; there is a choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs.
The sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 1km between the sensor and the amplifier.
POSITAL’s UL rotary encoders for hazardous environments offer users mutliple user interfaces and mounting options at an economical price point are complicated machines which must perform flawlessly under the harshest conditions.
Hazardous-location sensors are used in applications where flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or other hazardous conditions may be present. Everight has supported applications ranging from aerosol filling and oil and gas equipment to launch systems and industrial process equipment. The appropriate sensor and certification depend on both the measurement requirements and the hazardous-area classification.
