Turck MS13-22EX0-R - Ex d IIC T6 Explosion-Proof - Industrial Hazardous Area

Product Specification

Product Overview​

The ​Turck MS13-22EX0-R​ is a rugged magnetic cylinder sensor designed for precise position detection of pneumatic actuators in hazardous and explosive environments. Part of Turck’s MS series, this sensor is engineered for use in Zone 1/21 (gas/dust) explosive atmospheres, complying with ​ATEX​ and ​IECEx​ certifications. Its compact, non-contact design integrates seamlessly with pneumatic cylinders to monitor piston position in automated machinery. The sensor features a robust stainless steel housing with ​IP67/IP69K protection, ensuring resistance to dust, water, oils, and mechanical impacts.

Equipped with a PNP normally open (NO) output, the MS13-22EX0-R operates across a wide voltage range and delivers reliable switching signals to PLCs or control systems. Compliance with ​IEC 60079-0​ and ​IEC 60079-11​ standards guarantees safety in explosive environments, making it ideal for oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining applications.

​Key Technical Parameters​

The MS13-22EX0-R is defined by precision-engineered specifications for hazardous areas:

• ​Sensing Principle: Magnetic field detection (Reed switch technology).
• ​Operating Voltage: 10–30 V DC (±10%), compatible with industrial 24 V DC systems.
• ​Output Type: PNP NO, 200 mA switching capacity.
• ​Housing Material: Stainless steel (AISI 316L) with high chemical resistance.
• ​Temperature Range: -25°C to +80°C (operational), -40°C to +85°C (storage).
• ​Switching Frequency: 100 Hz (response time ≤2 ms).
• ​Connection: 2 m PUR cable with M8 plug connector.
• ​Certifications: ATEX, IECEx, CE, UL, and RoHS compliance.

These parameters ensure reliable operation in extreme and explosive environments.

​Primary Applications​

The MS13-22EX0-R is critical in industries requiring explosion-proof sensing solutions:

• ​Oil & Gas: Monitors valve positions in pipelines, drilling rigs, and refineries.
• ​Chemical Processing: Detects actuator positions in reactors, mixers, and hazardous material handling.
• ​Mining: Tracks pneumatic cylinder positions in conveyor systems and ventilation controls.
• ​Pharmaceutical: Ensures safety in sterile environments with high-pressure washdown requirements.
• ​Food & Beverage: Operates in dusty or explosive zones like flour mills and ethanol production.

Its ATEX/IECEx compliance also suits offshore platforms, paint booths, and grain silos.

​Competitive Advantages​

The MS13-22EX0-R outperforms standard sensors through specialized design:

• ​Explosion-Proof Certification: Complies with ATEX/IECEx for Zone 1/21 hazardous areas.
• ​High Chemical Resistance: Stainless steel and PUR cable withstand aggressive substances.
• ​Non-Contact Sensing: Reed switch technology ensures wear-free operation and long service life.
• ​Quick Installation: Pre-aligned mounting slots simplify integration with pneumatic cylinders.
• ​Low Power Consumption: Energy-efficient design minimizes heat generation in confined spaces.

These features reduce downtime, enhance safety, and lower total cost of ownership in critical applications.

​Functional Features​

The MS13-22EX0-R delivers advanced functionality for hazardous environments:

• ​Fail-Safe Operation: Built-in diagnostics (status LED) for real-time monitoring of sensor health.
• ​Reverse Polarity Protection: Safeguards against incorrect wiring connections.
• ​Temperature Stability: Maintains accuracy in extreme thermal conditions.
• ​Short-Circuit Protection: Prevents damage from electrical faults.
• ​Compact Design: Space-saving form factor fits tight installations on pneumatic actuators.

Combined with Turck’s rigorous quality assurance, the MS13-22EX0-R is a trusted solution for engineers prioritizing safety, durability, and compliance in explosive atmospheres.
