Ultimate application versatility. Baumer cable transducers feature any common interface. Hence, they allow for quick integration in any control environment. They are extremely robust and cost-efficient compared to other measuring principles. They enable easy installation without any adjustment aids. They master virtually any task in linear travel measurement – even where space is a constraint and under rough conditions. Perfect interaction: Encoder and cable-pull mechanics perfectly match each other. Linearity in the measuring operation is up to ±0.01 % of the measuring range. Never off the...

Compact cable transducers for outdoor use. The compact cable transducers MAGRES BMMS and GCA5 with plastic housing are ideal for outdoor applications where space is limited, for example at utility vehicles. max. 0.2 % of the measuring range range up to 7.5 m outdoor applications IP 67 For Spring Cable drum Three-chamber principle The cable transducer features three separate chambers for optimum protection of electronics and spring mechanism against ingressing moisture or other harmful ambient impacts (series GCA5). High-end components Corrosion-proof stainless steel cable with...

Flexible cable transducers with highest linearity. The new product platforms GCI and GCA with metal housings and optical position sensing meet the most demanding requirements in terms of measuring accuracy and service life. ±0.01 % of the measuring range range up to 50 m indoor applications IP 65 For Extremely high accuracy Precise mechanics with guided winding of the cable, combined with precise optical sensing. Versatile program Cable-pull mechanics combined with a versatile selection of encoders to master any measuring task Robust and durable Aluminum housing ensures minimum wearing and...

Typical applications. Utility vehicles Analog output, CANopen or SAEJ1939 interface capabilities make the cable transducers predestined for deployment in utility vehicles. Redundant product variants are available where more diagnostic functions are required. Temperature stability down to –40 °C and pulleys ensure your reliable measuring operations where other methods would fail. Application examples: Outrigger positioning Extended boom positioning ® Logistics High-dynamic measurements by cable transducers support speed-optimized processes. Despite the limited installation space prevailing...

Optimal Design-In. Optimum integration in your application will ensure consistently precise measured results and extend the cable transducers service life to the maximum. Incorrect Installation is preferred with the cable outlet pointing downward to prevent ingress of water and liquids. A pulley may be used to remove any ice formation from the cable to prevent transport inside the drum mechanism. The optional dirt skimmer will additionally remove any dust or dirt deposits. MAGRES BMMS and GCA5 cable transducers for outdoor applications, e.g. utility vehicles, provide holes for water outlet...
