New miniature in-cylinder transducer offers reliable position sensing(09/01/2008)
Penny + Giles has announced a new in-cylinder linear displacement transducer for small bore mobile and static hydro-pneumatic actuators. The ICT050 provides reliable, 'fit-and-forget' position sensing of the cylinder rod in actuators with strokes from 25mm up to 500mm. The robust, non-contact transducer works on an inductive coil principle, with virtually infinite resolution and will withstand temperatures up to 200 C and working pressures up to 500Bar (7,500psi).
