AutomationDirect has added Lika draw wire linear measurement devices, also known as string encoders or string potentiometers, which use a steel cable wrapped on a spring-loaded reel to measure ...

Kübler by TURCK has expanded its draw wire series with versions that measure distances ranging from 0.25 to 40 meters. This system is designed to work with sensors and encoders with analog ...

In the field of linear measuring technology, Kübler has further developed a draw-wire encoder that has already proven its worth. The C105 draw-wire encoder, which has been used for years in outdoor ...

The MRA-F wire-draw mechanism combined with an absolute or incremental encoder measures linear paths up to 50 m. Drum rotation is proportional to wire-extension length. The amount of rotation is ...

The DWS60 Draw Wire encoder system provides linear motion feedback over long distances for a range of industrial applications. Key features include an extended measurement range capable of measuring ...

Absolute draw wire encoders from Sick Stegmann can measure as far as 50 meters while holding resolution within 0.025 mm. They find applicability on everything from cranes to excavators and are robust ...

Wire draw encoders consist of a wire draw mechanism and an encoder. The rotation of the drum, which is proportional to the length being measured, is recorded and output by an encoder. This facilitates ...

Draw-wire transducers use a drum on which a measuring wire is wound. A rotary encoder or potentiometer connects to the spring-loaded drum, which automatically retracts the wire to an angular position.
