For use in Ex zones 0 and 1, Balluff offers pressure-encapsulated magnetostrictive BTL position measuring systems in various rod designs and with different performance profiles. Depending on the application, we offer variants for areas at risk from gas or dust. Magnetostrictive position measuring systems that can withstand possible explosion hazards are also available for Zone 2. The housing of the BTL-J-DEXC-TA12 series is robust and pressure-encapsulated. Its electronic module can be replaced quickly and easily. These variants therefore meet the oil and gas industry's requirements for high reliability and easy service in Ex areas.
