The intrinsically safe E100 is ATEX and IECEx approved for use in explosive gas, vapour, and dust atmospheres. It is designed for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder position feedback applications where durability, environmental resistance, and cost efficiency are important.

The compact sensor provides a linear output proportional to displacement and is calibrated to customer-specified travel ranges from 0–5 mm up to 0–800 mm, with integrated EMC protection.

Performance, repeatability, and stability remain consistent across a wide temperature range, with responsive measurement along almost the entire sensor length.

The rugged design features a stainless steel body, fluoropolymer-sheathed probe, and stainless steel target tube, with IP65 or IP67 sealing depending on the selected cable or connector option.

The E100 operates with galvanically isolated amplifiers such as the Positek X005, supporting 0.5–9.5V or 4–20mA outputs and cable lengths up to 1 km between the sensor and amplifier.
