Sensors and linear position sensors for use in a potentially explosive environment | 5 Safety in potentially explosive areas EXPLOSION PROTECTION In areas with a risk of explosion, many tasks can only be solved by reliable position detection. For example monitoring hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, controlling hydraulic or pneumatically driven valves as well as level detection. Balluff provides you with non-contact magnetostrictive linear position systems and sensors in a wide variety of designs. Learn about our range of solutions.

Sensors and linear position sensors for use in a potentially explosive environment | 7 RELIABLE POSITION FEEDBACK RELIABLE POSITION DETECTION With BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors 1 With BES and BHS inductive sensors 2 RELIABLE DETECTION OF THE PISTON POSITION With BMF magnetic field sensors 3 Many applications in explosion hazard areas require the use of position measurement systems for reliable position feedback. An example of this is the use of isolation and control valves used in oil and gas extraction in refineries and in petrochemical plants. At Balluff you have access to a...

Sensors and linear position sensors for use in a potentially explosive environment | 9 CERTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT IN HAZARDOUS AREAS Industrial processes often need to be carried out in a hazardous atmosphere or when hazardous materials such as explosive gases, dust or flammable liquids are present. Such substances can be ignited by sufficient energy coming from sources like electrical sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces. The equipment installed in these areas must therefore be planned such that it does not represent an ignition source. COUNTRY CERTIFICATION In most countries around the world,...
