| Penny + Giles is a world leader in the manufacture of linear and rotary potentiometers for positioning measurement and joystick controllers. |
Penny + Giles is a leading designer and manufacturer of specialist equipment,
position sensors and control hardware for industrial, military and aerospace
markets. The product range includes linear and rotary position sensors; joystick
controllers; draw wire (string pots); tilt sensors (inclinometers) and associated
signal conditioners. They are used to measure stroke or displacement or
positioning often in highly hostile environments.
Penny + Giles' success in world markets results from innovative technology,
creative designs, manufacturing excellence and interactive customer support.
For more than 50 years Penny + Giles has built an unsurpassed store of
experience which is supported by high precision engineering.
A wide variety of technologies are used to build the products including
potentiometric, inductive, Hall effect, Eddy current and 3D-MEMS ( Micro-
ElectroMechanical Systems). These products are in used in aerospace,
construction, defense, marine, material handling, mining, motor sport,
off-highway, power generation, process control, robotics, timber and forestry, and
transportation industries.

1. Linear Position Sensors
The hybrid track comprises a high resistivity conductive plastic film bonded to a
precision wire-wound element. The conductive plastic film is wiped by a precious
metal contact. The technology provides infinite resolution and a very long life (since the
majority of the current still flows in the wire, the carbon content of the conductive plastic
film is low, and the film is therefore very hard). Track linearity is very good, temperature
coefficient of resistance is low and predicable. Resistance stability with change in
humidity is excellent. Please check the Penny + Giles website for further information.

2. Linear Position Transducers
This transducer uses an innovative single coil
inductive operating principle within a rugged,
stainless steel housing and provides an analogue
position signal proportional to the operating sleeve
position. Offering one of the most cost effective
solutions for contactless absolute position sensing,
this transducer is ideally suited to exterior mounting
on off-highway vehicle systems, including military
vehicles. This transducer can withstand operating
temperatures from -40°C to +150°C and has been
tested to withstand shocks to 10,000g. With an EMC
immunity of 100V/m, this product is ready for the
harshest applications, such as steel and aluminum
plants and power generating stations. An electronic
module or signal conditioner (housed in a IP66 or
IP68 enclosure) is also available to convert the
output into a voltage, current or digital PWM signal.
