ICT800 In-Cyclinder Linear Position Sensor

The ICT800 Contactless In-Cylinder Linear Transducer combines the best features associated with LVDTs and potentiometers into one rugged, contactless and highly reliable displacement transducer.

  • Measurement range 25-1000mm
  • Small transducer body length to stroke ratio
  • 12bit resolution
  • Absolute measurement
  • Working pressure to 670 bar (10,000 psi)
  • Temperature range -40 to +125°C
  • Operates from 5Vdc or 8-30Vdc
  • Analogue output – 0.5-4.5Vdc or 0.2-4.8Vdc
  • Flexible mounting styles
  • Rugged stainless steel construction

Signal conditioning is integrated into the transducer flange.

Operating from 8-30Vdc or 5Vdc supply, the electronics provide an analog voltage output signal of either 0.5-4.5Vdc or 0.2-4.8Vdc over the selected measurement range.

With a transducer body diameter of only 8mm the ICT800 is ideal for installation into hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder applications where space is at a premium. The ICT800 is ideal for use on small-bore actuators and offers a choice of internal or threaded external flange mounting configurations to suit tie-rod, welded and rear clevis-mounted cylinder types in stroke ranges from 25 to 1000mm. Two core configurations also provide the designer the following options:

  • SLEEVED CORE – cylinder rods can be simply machined to accommodate the sleeve. This also gives the option of retro-fitting existing servo-cylinders with an upgrade to ICT technology.
  • THREADED CORE – provides the designer with the minimum transducer body size and simplified installation requiring minimal machining.

With no electrical sliding contacts, the ICT800 has a working life which is almost limitless.

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.
