Linear transducers steer Sunseeker’s luxury yachts
Christchurch
– 6 February 2009 – Penny + Giles is supplying its robust
and reliable in-cylinder ICT100 linear displacement transducers for use
on Sunseeker’s prestigious Predator range of performance motor yachts.
The transducers were chosen for use on the luxury motor yachts because of
their rugged design, excellent reliability and high performance under extreme
conditions. They provide accurate position feedback of the hydraulic actuators
used in the surface drive trim and steering.
ICT100 is a robust, non-contact transducer that works on an
inductive coil principle. With high resolution it is capable of withstanding
temperatures up to 200ºC and working pressure up to 670Bar (10,000psi).
The transducers, which provide fit-and-forget position sensing of the actuator
rod, are ideal for small bore mobile and static hydro-pneumatic actuators
and their robust construction makes them ideal for the harsh conditions
of marine steering systems.
The ICT100 is Penny + Giles’ largest in-cylinder transducer - it has
a body diameter of 10.1mm and is suitable for stroke ranges from 25 to 2000mm.
It has a very efficient body-to-stroke ratio and the overall length is only
slightly longer than the working stroke length.
