Description
Penny & Giles ICS100 in-cylinder Linear Position Sensor is designed specifically for use in hydraulic actuator applications, where the linear displacement sensor is fitted inside the pressurised environment.
Features of the ICS100 In-cylinder Linear Position Sensor:
- Competitively priced – cost of servo systems reduced.
- Integrated with actuator design – eliminates damage to externally fitted sensors.
- Removable slider assembly – simple to install.
- Cable integrally moulded – maximum sealing and strain relief
- Rapid despatch – eliminates customer inventory
- CE approved – confidence in EMC performance
Available in a choice of two mounting styles (Internal or External), these linear displacement sensors can be supplied in lengths to suit actuator strokes up to 1100mm. Extended lengths to 1600mm can also be supplied – please contact our application engineers about your requirement.
Specification
The ICS100 brochure includes a two page guide to assist cylinder designers determine the key dimensions.
Operating fluids – caution
The ICS100 has been tested for use in mineral oils only.
We do not recommend this sensor for use:-
- In systems containing water based fluids (e.g. water glycol)
- In systems containing oil with zinc additives present
- Where system filtration allows particles greater than 10 microns in size
Information provided on product applications should be used by customers for guidance only. Customers should satisfy themselves of the actual performance requirements and subsequently the suitability for any particular design application and the environment in which the ICS100 is to be used. If you have any doubt about the content, cleanliness or filtration levels of your fluid, we recommend the use of the Penny+Giles contactless in-cylinder transducer range – see product details on the ICT series.
The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.
The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.
Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
