EGE expands its range of explosion-proof flow sensors, adding the new LC5 GA EX22 series of airflow monitors for use in zone 2 and 22 environments with potentially explosive gas or dust atmospheres. The ATEX-certified, intrinsically safe and encapsulated airflow monitors in IP67 stainless-steel housings are available with M18 or G1/2 threads. They detect airflows at speeds from 0.5 m/s to 20 m/s with response times <5 s.

For accurate adjustment at a given flow velocity, the devices feature a potentiometer screw and a two-color LED on the front side. Red, green and flashing lights signal when the minimum or maximum output current in a standard signal range 4…20 mA have been reached. LC5 GA EX22 airflow monitors are designed for use in temperature ranges from -10 °C to 60 °C and come with a two-meter fixed PUR cable by default. EGE supplies the devices with longer cables on request.

EGE-Elektronik Spezial-Sensoren GmbH has been developing and manufacturing special purpose sensors for automation applications since 1976. The company serves international producers from a wide range of industries. The company has a total of 130 employees, including 20 engineers and technicians. Its product portfolio includes flow controllers, infrared, opto and ultrasonic sensors, capacitive proximity switches, light barriers and inductive proximity switches. EGE also provides sensors for highly sensitive applications, such as hazardous areas. The development department’s staff cooperates closely with all customers, ensuring continuous product updates and enhancement.
