Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the SWH series cable-type displacement converter designed for use with absolute and incremental encoders. It is robustly constructed for mechanical engineering and industrial applications, converting linear displacements up to 3 meters into rotary movements.
Specifications:
  • Measuring ranges: 1, 2, 3 meters.
  • Cable drum circumference: 200 mm.
  • Mechanical tolerance: ± 0.05%.
  • Maximum cable speed: ≤ 8.0 m/s at 20°C.
  • Maximum cable acceleration: ≤ 40 m/s² at 20°C.
  • Force required to draw: max 15 N at start, max 30 N at end.
  • Cable material: Flexible steel wires (1.4401), diameter 1.3 mm.
  • Housing material: Anodized aluminum.
  • Protection class: IP65 (not valid for cable entry).
  • Temperature range: -20°C to +70°C, optional -30°C.
Functional Description: The converter uses a flexible steel cable to convert linear movement into rotary motion via a measuring drum connected to an encoder shaft. The spring drive ensures the cable remains taut, preventing sagging and errors. The cable entry is protected against dust and water.
Form of Delivery: Encoders and converters are typically supplied as a single unit but can be requested separately. Compatible encoder models include KR, CR, TM (digital interface), DAF, TM (analog interface), and pulse series GIO, GIM TB.
Accessories: Optional accessories include deflection rollers, cable extensions, bellows for cable entry, and external brush chambers for dusty environments.
Installation Drawings: Detailed installation drawings are provided for various configurations, including standard, with deflection roller, and with bellow, specifying dimensions and mounting details.

Draw-wire displacement converter SWH-1

Cable-type displacement converter SWH series for use with absolute and incremental encoders  Very robust construction for mechanical engineering and industrial plant application  For converting linear displacements of up to 3 m into a rotary movement  For mounting onto an absolute or incremental encoder  Easy to install and to use  Protection class IP 65 (IP 54) Functional description The linear movement of a flexible steel cable, which can have a length of up to 3 m, is converted into an rotary movement with the aid of a measuring drum. The measuring drum is connected to the shaft of an encoder. In this way a change in displacement of the measuring cable causes the shaft of the encoder to rotate by a directly proportional amount which can be recorded. Generally encoders and converters are supplied as one unit. Upon request both items are also available as separate units. To load the encoder model series KR, CR and TM are suitable with digital interface, DAF and TM with analog interface and pulse of the series, GIO and GIM TB. Preferably used are those with the flange-58th. Lots of other flange are adaptable. The restoring force of the spring drive holds the measuring cable tight at all times and prevents any sagging which would otherwise induce an error. The cable is wound up precisely and reproducibly wrap for wrap in the helical groove of the drum. The nozzle, through which the cable enters the drum, is protected with a brush and a bellow to prevent water or dust entering the drum. TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH Heinrichstrasse 85
