Positek

X005

Part no.: X005

Key Features

•  Provides isolation between the amplifier power supply, the hazardous area and the X005 output signal

• Input power supply range of 12 to 30 volts DC

• Factory configured to either 0.5 to 9.5V or 4-20mA

•  Bandwidth of 4.7kHz, making it ideal for servo control loops.

The X005 Galvanic Isolation Amplifier has been designed specifically for use with Positek Intrinsically Safe position sensors and is certified intrinsically safe [Ex ia Ma] I and [Ex ia Ga Da] IIC. The Amplifier sacles the output in the safe area and ensures the corresponding output is correct over a wide range of input voltages. It also supports a 5-wire installation option which can negate the effect of losses over long distances, thus maintaining the output signal accuracy. The X005 is factory configured to either 0.5 to 9.5V or 4-20mA and has a bandwidth of 4.7kHz.

Selecting the Right Sensors for Hazardous Environments

Choosing the right sensors for hazardous environments is essential for ensuring safety and operational efficiency. This blog explores key considerations for sensor selection, the role of safety engineers, and an overview of Everight Position’s sensor solutions.

Inductosyn: End of an Era, New Opportunities or Both?

Recently, obtaining the Inductosyn and components for maintenance has become more difficult. For decades the Inductosyn from Farrand Controls / Ruhle Companies sat near the top of the rotary sensor hierarchy. Providing sub 2 arcsec (0.5 mdeg) accuracies, it combined the robustness of a resolver with the performance of the best optical encoders. Despite its shortcomings, it found plenty of customers, from airborne infrared and radar systems, to telescopes, satellite communication antennae (SATCOM), machine tooling and low-pressure vacuum chambers.

Technical Note: Intrinsically Safe vs. Inherently Safe Sensors

Intrinsically safe (IS) sensors are designed to operate safely in hazardous areas where there is a risk of explosion. IS sensors limit the amount of electrical and thermal energy that can be released in the event of a fault, to a level below that which is capable of igniting flammable gases, vapors, or dust.

MEMS Inclinometer Specifications

Inclinometers, also called tilt sensors, clinometers, or slope sensors, are designed to measure the angle of an object with respect to the force of gravity. These tilt or level meters determine the pitch and/or roll angle and output these values via the appropriate electrical interface.
