Inductive Position Coding System PCI

Automated Control Engineering Group (A.C.E.) is now distributing the newly developed Pepperl+Fuchs PCI inductive position coding system. The PCI inductive position coding system has been developed for specifically for angle measurement and is the perfect solution for measuring angles in rotary joints and slewing bearings.

The sensor detects several steel pins along a code rail and calculates the absolute rotation angle position of the bearing. The exact position is available without a reference run after switching on the inductive position coding system. This is ideal for intermittent operation of plant machinery.

Benefits of the PCI system:

• Insensitive to dirt, oil and grease
• Wear-free
• Slip-free
• Low maintenance
• Absolute measurements

The inductive position coding system offers clear added value for use in rotary joints in heavy machine construction, especially when compared to conventional measuring systems. The non-contact inductive functional principle is a proven solution and is wear-free. Mechanical coupling to rotating bearing elements is eliminated, so there are no measurement errors due to slip or environmental contaminants.

Automated Control Engineering Group Pty Ltd (A.C.E.) specialises in the national supply of process and automation control equipment to a diverse range of industries that encompass the water, industrial, food, mining and petrochemical markets.
