In-cylinder sensor aids actuator
accuracy
Robust, noncontact transducer is ideal for the harsh conditions of lifting and steering position applications and hydropneumatic active suspension systems.
Penny + Giles has a new in-cylinder linear displacement transducer for small bore mobile and static hydropneumatic actuators The ICT050 provides reliable, fit-and-forget position sensing of the cylinder rod in actuators with strokes up to 500mm

Digital panel indicators at very competitive price
Two new ranges of fully programmable, digital panel indicators from Penny and Giles Controls Ltd - offer high performance features at a very competitive price.
It is a robust, noncontact transducer that works on an inductive coil principle, with virtually infinite resolution and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 200C and working pressures up to 500bar.
The new transducer is aimed primarily at the off-highway (construction, agriculture) and utility vehicle market.
Its robust construction is ideal for the harsh conditions of lifting and steering position applications and hydropneumatic active suspension systems.
The ICT050 has a very efficient body-to-stroke ratio.
The overall length is only slightly longer than the working stroke length, facilitating a much more compact installation than can be effected with traditional linear transducer designs.
The stroke range covers 25 to 500mm stroke actuators and the transducer body diameter is just 5.4mm, allowing it to be used in smaller diameter actuators.
The transducer core can be supplied in sleeved, threaded or force-fit variants, with a wide choice of transducer mounting flanges, including SAE1926/2 and ISO6149/2 compatible thread forms.
All configurations are available on rapid delivery, and can be supplied within a few days of ordering.
The ICT050 is an addition to the company's existing range of in-cylinder transducers that includes the popular ICT080 and ICT100 for stroke lengths up to 2000mm. Request a free brochure from Penny + Giles ...
