ICT080 & ICT100 DESIGNERS GUIDE

The ICT080 and ICT100 transducers are designed foruse inside hydraulic or industrial pneumatic actuators. These notes have been developed to assist cylinderdesigners determine the electrical stroke, mountingstyle and core type related to their actuator design. If you encounter any difficulty with these notes please use the contact details on the rear cover toask for assistance. In most applications, the designer will need answers to thefollowing questions:-

STEP 2

Decide on transducer mounting style. This is part of the ordering code.

ICT080 and ICT100 are both available with a choice of mountingflange styles. See pages 5 and 7Threaded flanges (EU/EM) are intended for mounting through thecylinder rear via a threaded hole. See Figs.1 and 3 for recommended installation and machining details. The threaded flange is also available in a reversed format (RU/RM) which will allow the transducer to be fitted within the actuator footprint. See Figs.1 and 4 for installation details.Internal (IN) flange style is suited to clevis style actuators, where thetransducer is embedded in the cylinder rear. See Figs.5 and 6 for recommended installation and machining details.

?What length of transducer do I need to order to match my cylinder stroke? – see STEP 1?How will I mount the transducer body? – see STEP 2?How will I attach the transducer core? – see STEP 3

STEP 1 Determine electrical stroke range.This is part of the ordering code (E).

STEP 3

Decide on transducer core type.This is part of the ordering code.

The transducer can only be ordered by electrical stroke range – notmechanical stroke of the actuator/cylinder. Select a transducer (ICT080 or ICT100) to suit your cylinder stroke and piston rod bore diameterICT080 can be specified in stroke range increments of 5mm for25mm to 200mm and 10mm for 210mm to 1000mm electrical strokes.ICT100 can be specified in stroke range increments of 5mm for25mm to 200mm, 10mm for 210mm to 1100mm and 20mm for 1120 to 2000mm electrical strokes.You should specify a transducer that will give you sufficient range tocover the mechanical stroke of your cylinder. The EICT signal conditioning module provides GAIN and ZERO adjustment to match your required output range signals over the specified cylinder stroke. Details are included in the set-up guide supplied with the module. ICT080 and ICT100 can be supplied with two transducer corestyles.The sleeved core (S) allows the cylinder rod to be simply machinedand attached with the mounting hardware supplied. See Figs.1 and 2 for schematics and recommended machining details. Sleeve lengths are shown on pages 5 and 7, to allow the full diameter drill depth to be calculated.The threaded core (T) allows attachment to the cylinder rod with thesmallest transducer footprint. See Fig.3for threaded core detailsand recommended machining dimensions . Each transducer is supplied with the mounting hardware to mountthe transducer body and core. The kit includes all components for all types of transducer available. Spare mounting hardware kits can be ordered as part number AI202799 (ICT080) and AI202800 (ICT100).
