The intrinsically safe X100 is ATEX and IECEx approved for use in explosive gas and vapour environments. It is designed for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder position feedback applications requiring long service life and environmental resistance.

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 sensor features a rugged stainless steel body with a fluoropolymer-sheathed probe and stainless steel target tube, with IP65 or IP67 environmental sealing depending on configuration.

The X100 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.
