Description
Penny & Giles AF111 LVDT Linear Position Sensor is suitable for clamp mounting, and has a threaded, unguided core assembly to simplify installation.
Features of the AF111 LVDT Linear Position Sensor:
- Small transducer body length to stroke ratio
- Temperature error less than 35ppm/°C
- Welded stainless steel construction, sealed to IP66
- Absolute measurement
- Infinite resolution
For optimum performance, we recommend the use of the purpose designed signal conditioning modules to operate this LVDT sensors:-
- UCM – Universal Conditioning Module, with IP68 protected metal enclosure.
- SCM100 – DIN Rail mounting
The design of the AF111 LVDT displacement transducer has evolved from technology and experience gained in over 30 years in the bespoke aerospace / military sensor market, where performance and reliability under extreme operating conditions are paramount. The transducer coil has been specifically designed to reduce overall transducer length and to enable high accuracy ratiometric operation, as well as being able to operate in the “Differential Output” configuration.
Our high performance ratiometric LVDT transducer benefits from our extensive experience in fly-by-wire control systems for flight critical aerospace applications. Using high integrity coil, screen and connection assemblies, combined with welded and vacuum brazed stainless steel construction, these LVDTs can be supplied in a range of shaft and body configurations to suit clutch, gearbox, engine and brake applications.
The AF111 range of high accuracy LVDT displacement transducers have been designed primarily for use in the ratiometric configuration and have a compact size, with stroke lengths from 5mm to 150mm. Suitable for clamp mounting, the AF111 range has a threaded, unguided core assembly to simplify installation. Suited to numerous applications, such as vehicle research, and test rigs.

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.
