Overview

The XL50S Series Draw-wire Position Sensors are precision measurement devices designed for linear position sensing with measuring ranges from 100mm to 1500mm. They incorporate various sensor technologies including multi-turn wirewound potentiometers, magnetic sensors, and magnetic encoders with multiple output signal options.

Product Variants and Features

• Potentiometer Incorporated Models (XL50SW): Multi-turn wirewound potentiometer with selectable resistance values (1kΩ, 2kΩ, 5kΩ, or custom). Offers high linearity and repeatability.
• Magnetic Sensor Analog Output (XL50SH): Provides analog voltage output with customizable measuring stroke between 100mm and 1500mm. Output signal can be held high, low, or at both ends outside the effective measurement range.
• Magnetic Encoder Incremental Output (XL50SI): Incremental encoder output with selectable pulse counts per 100mm (e.g., 100 to 4096 pulses).
• Magnetic Encoder Absolute Output (XL50SA): Absolute position output using SSI protocol.
• Magnetic Sensor BUS Signal Output (XL50SB): Supports Modbus RTU and CANopen protocols with push-pull output type; customizable pulse resolution.

Output Signal Characteristics and Options

The sensor supports various output signal configurations with options for signal holding at stroke ends (high, low, or both ends). Output pulse counts for incremental encoders can be customized per 100mm stroke. Digital potentiometer-based sensors allow flexible output ranges (e.g., 0%-90%).

Connection and Wiring

• Color-coded wiring instructions are provided for different output types (e.g., Red = VCC, Black = GND, White = Output for potentiometer models).
• Terminal connections vary by communication protocol: RS485, CAN, SSI, etc., with detailed pin assignments.

Special Specifications and Customization

• Customizable mounting hole sizes and positions.
• Special cable lengths and exit directions available.
• Multi-segment output, higher protection degrees, and other special requirements can be accommodated upon request.
• Note that special potentiometer specifications may affect general mechanical, electrical, and environmental parameters.

Additional Notes

• Output signals in non-effective measurement areas can be held at high, low, or both ends as specified by the customer.
• All specifications are subject to change without prior notice to improve product quality and design.
