Description
Responding to customer demand, Penny and Giles has developed this competitively-priced MLS130 linear position sensor for the motorsport industry.
Features of the MLS130 Linear Position Sensor:
- Compact body to stroke length
- Choice of mountings, including metal rod ends
- Sealed to IP66 with optional protective sleeve
- Integrally moulded rear cable with ‘DR25’ sheath
- A preferred range of configurations are available from stock in the UK
- CE approved
Available in eight stroke lengths from 25 to 200mm, the MLS130 is sealed to IP66, and is supplied ready fitted with a DR25 sheathed, 3-core cable integrally moulded into the sensor. This eliminates the need for users to fit ‘heat-shrink’ over-sleeving more commonly required on other sensors.
A choice of three mountings are available, including M5 metal rod-end bearings at both ends of the sensor. An auxiliary protective sleeve can also be supplied that allows the sensor to endure multiple race use in all weather conditions.
The MLS130 uses the proven hybrid track technology, which provides virtually infinite resolution and a long track life. This high reliability absolute position sensor reduces the need for regular maintenance and recalibration, with no loss of position information in the event of a system power loss.
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.
