opportunity of selecting the best sensor for
his application. Choose between analog
and digital outputs to optimize your individual
measurement task. OEM-solutions for
customized integration possible.
wireSENSORs are application friendly due
to the excellent measurement range to size
ratio and the fact that they are easy to
mount and use.
The rugged sensor construction ensures
reliable operation even under difficult
ambient conditions.
Principle
Draw-wire displacement sensors measure
linear movements using a highly flexible
steel cable. The cable drum is attached to a
sensor element which provides a
proportional output signal. Measurements
are performed with high accuracy and high
dynamic response. The use of high quality
components guarantees a long life cycle
and high operational reliability.
MICRO-EPSILON offers a wide selection of
draw-wire displacement sensors with
numerous types of output signal. This
means that each customer has the
