| 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.

Inclinometers or tilt sensors
This tilt sensor uses solid state 3D-MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical
Systems) technology to measure the sensor's inclination relative to earth's
gravity. It has a measurement range of ±60° and provides a 0.5 to 4.5Vdc
output signal over this range, with a nominal 2.5Vdc at 0° tilt. This product's
housing is manufactured using a corrosion resistance engineered
polymer molding and has a protection rating of IP68. The tilt sensor can
withstand operating temperatures from -40°C to +125°C and has been
tested to withstand shocks of 20,000g. With an EMC immunity of 100V/m,
this inclinometer is ready for the harshest applications.
