Explosion Proof Certified Sensors

Speed and Position Sensors

Explosion Proof (Flame Proof) sensors are for use with Class I, Division 1 and Class I, Zone 1 classified areas. The metal housing is designed to contain an explosion and prevent flame propagation should a hazardous gas enter the area.

Versions of our Variable Reluctance, Amplified Variable Reluctance, RF Eddy Current, and Hall Effect Zero speed sensors are available.

Applications

  • Flow metering
  • Engine and turbo speed
  • Anti-lock braking systems (ABS)
  • Traction Control systems
  • Hydraulic pump speed
  • Conveyor / Process speed
  • Process counting
  • Position sensing
  • Quadrature and Directional sensing
