| 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. In-Cylinder Sensors
These sensors are designed for easy integration into either
hydraulic or pneumatic actuators and are supplied with a contact
slider ring that can be easily removed from the sensor when
installing in the actuator/cylinder rod.
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. In-Cylinder Transducers
A range of contactless in-cylinder linear position
transducers designed for integration into hydraulic
and pneumatic actuators where the transducer is
fitted inside the pressurized environment.
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 cylinder rod
position. Offering one of the most cost effective
solutions for contactless absolute position sensing,
this transducer is ideally suited to both static and
mobile hydraulic systems, including military
vehicles. This transducer can withstand operating
temperatures of up to +200°C and system
pressures of 670 bar (10,000 psi).
