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
    Short lead times, 5 weeks standard, ~7 day expedited
