Description
Penny & Giles SLS130 linear Position Sensors designed to provide maximum performance benefits within an extremely compact, lightweight package in stroke lengths from 25 to 200mm.
Features of the SLS130 Linear position sensors:
- Short body to stroke length
- Sealing to IP66 and corrosion-resistant rod-end bearings
- Cable assembly integrally moulded
- Significantly reduced weight
- A preferred range of configurations are available from stock in the UK
- CE approved
- Interchangeable with Penny & Giles HLP129 linear potentiometers
Using the proven benefits of Hybrid Track Technology and including a number of unique design features, the SLS130 displacement sensor is ideally suited to high volume OEM manufacturers, where high performance and reliability with competitive pricing and rapid despatch has paramount importance.
Hybrid track
The hybrid track comprises a high resistivity conductive plastic film bonded to a precision wire-wound element. The conductive plastic film is wiped by a precious metal contact. The technology provides infinite resolution and a very long life (since the majority of the current still flows in the wire, the carbon content of the conductive plastic film is low, and the film is therefore very hard). Track linearity is very good, temperature coefficient of resistance is low and predictable and resistance stability with change in humidity is excellent.
Options
Compact shaft: Compact shaft will reduce dimension D by 25mm
Integral shaft seal – IP 66: Designed to accept integral shaft seal to give IP66 rating
Extended cable length: 10m output cable can be specified
Mounting: Body clamp, flange or quick release balljoint mounting kits can be supplied
Protective sleeve: For all stroke lengths – self aligning bearings only. See ordering code
Spring loaded shaft kit: For stroke lengths 25 to 150mm with /L shaft option and /50 sealing option only.
The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.
The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.
Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
