Penny + Giles is continuing to strengthen its global distribution network with the appointment of French distributor Wimesure.
Wimesure has agreed to work with the retiring distributor IC Mesures for a transition period of at least six months. Jacques Maye (IC Mesures) will be working as a consultant with Wimesure, having distributed Penny + Giles products in France since 1995. Commenting for Wimesure, which has a network of 12 regional distributors throughout France, managing director Christophe Bracon says: “As a technical distributor we are keen to expand our portfolio and Penny + Giles was identified as offering a broad range of high quality products that complement our existing range.”

Penny + Giles has produced a new shortform brochure for its joystick controllers, sensors and solenoids and solenoid valves – a product range that enables the company to actively compete in sectors as diverse as access control and specialised vehicles, to process control and motorsport.
The brochure looks in brief at the Penny + Giles range of fingertip operated rockers and joysticks, rugged single- and multi-axis joystick controllers; provides an overview of the company’s linear, rotary and tilt sensors and in-cylinder and valve position transducers; and introduces its standard range of solenoids and solenoid valves including open-frame, tubular, AC laminated and latching.
Available initially in English, with French and German translations following soon, the brochure also summarises typical applications and experience for each of the product ranges.

Penny + Giles is supplying its contactless rotary position sensors and advanced joystick controllers to help control the latest Transtacker trailer from Big Bale Company South.
The versatile, multi-function trailer, which sells in the UK and around the world, has recently benefited from a major upgrade of its control system and now features highly sophisticated electronics developed by control specialist Tedd Engineering.
Explaining the significance of the new control system Paul Bowles of Big Bale Company South says the control system is predominantly responsible for controlling and managing the Transtacker’s hydraulics. “The hydraulics perform the three principle functions of the Transtacker trailer, which are to pick up, lift and rotate bales from ground level to the machine’s trailer. This involves controlling the operation of large double tines and a turntable, which travel between zero and 180 degrees.”

Penny + Giles has developed a new handle for its JC6000 joystick controller, which is being used on McConnel’s new Revolution control system.
With more than 75 years experience in developing tractor-mounted attachments, McConnel, a European Division member of the Alamo Group (an American-owned company specialising in agricultural and industrial machiney), has always been highly regarded by farmers and contractors when it comes to the maintenance of hedges, verges and grassland. Today, the name is synonymous with quality, durability and reliability and for manufacturing cost-effective equipment for maintaining hedgerows, verges and ditches, forestry, parks and sports grounds.

Penny + Giles has further expanded the output options of its SRH501P and SRH502P contactless rotary position sensors with the introduction of a 4 to 20 mA version.
This expansion of the output options, coupled with their IP69K rating and operating temperature range from -40 to +120°C, makes the SRH501P and SRH502P sensors ideal for use in the majority of factory automation and process control applications. The use of contactless Hall effect technology also makes the sensors resistance to shock and vibration, which enables the sensors to operate in high dither vibration conditions with no deterioration of the sensing element.

Penny + Giles, a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls and designer and manufacturer of high precision sensing technology, has pioneered developments in motorsport position sensing by using experience gained in aerospace applications, where reliability under extremely hostile conditions is paramount. The company’s sensors have become the benchmark in motorsport applications and can claim to have helped every winning team in the Formula 1 championship since 1986.
So when Norfolk, UK-based Active Technologies – an engineering design consultancy providing solutions for motorsport teams, track day enthusiasts and custom tuners – required a better engineered and more robust throttle position sensor for its patented shaft-less throttle bodies, it is no surprise that Penny + Giles provided the solution.

Penny + Giles has introduced a new 0 to 10Vdc output version of its SRH220DR dual redundant output contactless rotary position sensor.
This SRH220DR, which uses proven, non-contact programmable Hall effect technology to provide OEMs with highly reliable and accurate rotary measurement for factory automation and process control applications, has a low output signal noise of less than 1mVrms and an input/output delay of 3.5mS.
This new rotary position sensor has a choice of integrated 6-way connectors and provides numerous factory-programmed options. Designed for operation in extreme temperatures, the Penny + Giles SRH220DR enables system designers to quickly and easily improve the safety and integrity of control systems by using the dual independent power supply and output signals, which allows compliance with SIL-2 requirements for systematic safety as defined in IEC 61508.

Following the launch of its NRH280DP dual-output ‘non contact’ rotary position sensor in 2010, Penny + Giles has expanded its range with the introduction of a dual redundant output version.
Operating from a 5Vdc supply, the NRH285DR has two independent power supplies and outputs that enable full redundancy from a low-profile housing measuring just 6.5mm – making it one of the thinnest available.
