Port stacker-reclaimers operate in dust, salt spray, vibration, and potentially explosive atmospheres. The LDS-PSR-Ex intrinsically safe explosion-proof linear displacement sensor is designed for boom, trolley, and mast position feedback. Its Ex ia IIC T6 Ga certification limits ignition risk, while a stainless-steel housing and IP67 sealing support reliable outdoor use.

Model options: LDS-PSR-Ex-50 to -3000, with measuring ranges from 50 mm to 3000 mm. Standard outputs include 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, RS485 Modbus, and CANopen. Supply voltage is 24 VDC (12-30 VDC). Independent linearity is <=0.05% FS, repeatability <=0.01 mm, and resolution <=0.001 mm. Operating temperature is -40 to +85 C; storage -40 to +90 C. Vibration resistance is 10-2000 Hz, 20 g. Protection is IP67/IP69K optional. Process connection: M18x1.5 or flange; rod material: 316L stainless steel; cable: shielded, 2 m or custom.

For specification selection, confirm stroke, output, cable length, mounting thread, and hazardous area class. The sensor should be installed with a stable guide, aligned with the moving target, and separated from strong electromagnetic sources. Shielded grounding and surge protection improve signal stability. Factory calibration and traceable test data ensure accurate commissioning.

The LDS-PSR-Ex supports predictive maintenance, reduces downtime, and meets intrinsically safe and explosion-proof requirements for port stacker-reclaimer automation.
