Positek X500

Part no.: Positek X500

Key Features

• ATEX/IECE: Ex II 1G; Ex ia IIC T4 GA

• 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA outputs

• ATEX variants of P502, P505 and P520 available

• Up to 160 deg range

The intrinsically safe X500 rotary sensor is ATEX and IECEx 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 X500, like all Positek sensors, is supplied with the output calibrated to the angle required by the customer, between 16 and 160 degrees and with full EMC protection built in. The sensor provides a linear output proportional with angle of rotation. There is a machined registration mark to identify the calibrated mid point.

Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. The X500 has long service life and environmental resistance with a rugged stainless steel body and shaft, the flange and servo mounts are anodised aluminium. The flange or servo mounting options make the sensor easy to install. 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 (X005) 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.

Deciphering the Ideal Shafted Encoder: Beyond Optical vs. Magnetic

Welcome to a journey through the evolution and application of rotary sensors, with a special focus on magnetic sensing technology as presented by Everight Position, an Advanced Sales Partner of POSITAL products.

Case Study: Retrofitting Water Valves for Remote Position Information

While they may be small, the role of rotary encoders in spacecraft is vital, demanding a balance between performance, reliability, and the unforgiving environment of space. From NASA’s Robonaut II to automated material handling systems on the International Space Station, Everight has worked with engineers to put rotary encoders into ‘the final frontier.’
