Explosion-Proof 
 
Micropulse Transducer

 Ideal for hazardous environment
positioning or level detection 

Balluff has expanded its Micropulse® line of magnetostrictive linear position sensors with the industry's first self-contained, explosion-proof transducer. FM- and CENELEC-approved, the explosion-proof Micropulse has an IP68-rated stainless steel housing and provides all the benefits of non-contact magnetostrictive positioning technology with bomb-shelter-like ruggedness.



Resolution to <0.2µm, linearity of ±0.02%, and the industry's best hysteresis of just 0.0001", along with sub- millisecond analog update times - 3X faster than lower-grade magnetostrictive devices.

  • Shock-resistant and sealed to IP68 requirements 
  • immune to contamination from dust, chips, dirt and oil, as well as outdoor environments
  • Non-contact, wear-free design ensures peak accuracy over the entire life of the unit
  • Stroke lengths to 142"
  • Micropulse sensors operate on 24VDC, protected against reverse polarity, with ±15VDC operation available as an option
