| 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. Sealed rotary sensors
This product uses a well proven Penny + Giles hybrid
potentiometer track (conductive plastic on wire) technology.
This provides high stability under extremes of temperature
and humidity with virtual infinite resolution and a track life in
excess of 50 million operations. With minimal hysteresis
and electrical noise and a self-compensating effect for track
wear, this technology allows designers to achieve improved
control system accuracy and long-term integrity without
increasing system costs.

Sealed rotary sensor applications
2. Contactless rotary sensors
The contactless rotary sensors use a high
performance 12 bit magnetic rotary encoder ASIC
that includes integrated Hall element and digital
signal processing. The angular position
information is provided by a two pole magnet
integrated with the sensor shaft. The sensor
provides a Pulse Width Modulated signal or an
absolute analog voltage signal by using a
low-pass filter circuit. Able to operate from an 8 to
30 Vdc unregulated supply, with a high stability
circuit and EMC immunity to 100V/m, this sensor is
ideally suited to operation in extremely hostile
applications such as off-road vehicles.
