Choice of transducer core styles
The operating principle of the ICT transducer uses a core moving within thetransducer body to supply the signal proportional to cylinder rod displacement. Twostyles of core are available to the actuator designer. The threaded core (T) allowsattachment to the cylinder rod with the smallest transducer footprint, enabling thedesigner to maximise cylinder rod wall thickness whilst minimising machining costs.The sleeved core (S) allows the cylinder rod to be simply machined and attached withthe fixings supplied. This style gives the option of retro-fitting existing servo-actuatorswith an upgrade to contactless ICT technology.
Separate signal conditioning
To minimise the transducer size and the impact onthe cylinder design, we provide separate signalconditioning electronics (EICT) housed in a ruggedIP66 rated enclosure. This can be located up to 10m
away from the transducer, well away from any hostileconditions (vibration, shock, temperature) that thecylinder may encounter during operation. The resultis a more reliable transducer solution, easily installedand adjusted and more flexible in the choice of
outputs available.
Total reliability
The ICT series provides a highly reliable solution for absolute position sensing in
hydraulic/pneumatic actuators. The contactless operating principle allows a fit-and-forget
installation so that zero maintenance programs can be incorporated within plant orequipment service schedules.
World leading availability
The ICT080 and ICT100 have been 'designed for manufacture' enabling assembly in a state-of the-art manufacturing cell.
This means that we can supply any one of over 6,600 different transducer combinations in five to ten days from ordering.This allows OEMs to reduce or eliminate their inventory, and call on Penny + Giles to supply 'on demand'.
