Position Sensors for Hazardous Locations
Intrinsically Safe Linear, Rotary and Tilt Sensors
When choosing components for a hazardous environment it is important to have a trusted partner. For over a decade engineers have relied on Everight Position for rotary, linear and tilt sensors for these challenging applications.
Positek sensors for hazardous environments rely on a galvanically isolated amplifier barrier. The barrier provides users with an easy to read 4-20mA or 0.5-9.5V output signal and can even correct for voltage losses over the wiring between the sensor and barrier.
As a results these sensors can be used in areas with continuous, long or frequent periods of exposure to hazardous atmospheres.
Positek linear, rotary and tilt sensors are available across a wide variety of mechanical form factors. From in-cylinder to submersible options, each sensor is uniquely optimized for a given customer’s application, regardless of quantity.
X/E Series
Positek X Series (gas and dust) and E Series (gas, dust and vapor) are ATEX certified to Zone 0 Div 1.
G/H Series
Positek G series (gas and dust) and H Series (gas, dust and vapor) are CSA certified to Class | Division 1.
M Series
Positek M Series sensors are ATEX certified to Groups | and: suitable for all areas (including mining), Cat M1/1 GD
The Positek Difference
Although Positek sensors may appear similar to a potentiometer or LVDT, their patented PIPS inductive sensing technology sets them apart from the competition as Positek sensors offer:
- Better accuracy across the full measurement range
- Superior temperature compensation
- On-board signal conditioning
- No calibration needed between the barrier and sensor
- Shorter stroke-to-length ratio than LVDT’s
