Draw Wire Encoder - 6000mm, Quadrature Output
Linear draw-wire position transducer with 6000 mm nylon jacketed steel cable. NPN Quadrature ABZ output with 1 mm resolution.
This wire type encoder is designed for measuring lengths and distances of linear and near-linear movements. It uses a flexible nylon-jacked steel cable, spring-loaded spool and high precision optical encoder to give a measurement of cable extension in harsh environments.
The sensor provides a quadrature ABZ NPN open collector type output pulses with a resolution of 1 pulse per mm.
Draw wire sensors are also known in the industry as cable transducers, cable-extension transducers, string potentiometers, draw wire transducers, yo yo pots, linear position string pots, and string encoders.
