ICT100 transducers used on luxury yachts

A Penny and Giles product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 11, 2009

Penny and Giles is supplying its in-cylinder ICT100 linear displacement transducers for use on Sunseeker's Predator range of performance motor yachts.

The transducers were chosen for use on the luxury motor yachts because of their rugged design, reliability and high performance under extreme conditions.

They provide accurate position feedback of the hydraulic actuators used in the surface drive trim and steering.

ICT100 is a non-contact transducer that works on an inductive coil principle.

It is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 200C and working pressures up to 670 bar (10,000psi).

The transducers, which provide fit-and-forget position sensing of the actuator rod, are suitable for small bore mobile and static hydro-pneumatic actuators and their robust construction makes them suitable for the harsh conditions of marine steering systems.

The ICT100 has a body diameter of 10.1mm and is suitable for stroke ranges from 25 to 2000mm.

It has an efficient body-to-stroke ratio and the overall length is only slightly longer than the working stroke length.
