Product catalog summary
Overview: The Draw Wire Encoder System DWS50 is designed for absolute and incremental measurements with a range of up to 1250 mm. It features easy installation, flexible encoder options, and a high-flex stainless steel wire.
Mechanical Specifications: The system is constructed with an aluminum body and stainless steel measuring cable. It has a drum circumference of 150 mm/turn and a cable diameter of 0.51 mm. The standard linearity is ±0.05% full scale, with a maximum velocity of 10 m/s and acceleration of 40 m/s². It is rated IP54 for protection and operates in temperatures from -20°C to +80°C, weighing approximately 0.7 kg.
Electrical Specifications:
  • Current Output: Operates on 20 to 30 VDC with a current consumption of 50 mA plus output current. The output current ranges from 4 to 20 mA with a nonlinearity of 1% and includes short circuit protection.
  • Incremental Output: Supports a supply voltage of 5 VDC, 4.75 – 30 VDC, with a maximum current consumption of 40 mA. It features a push-pull, TTL, RS422A compatible output circuit with a pulse frequency of up to 300 kHz.
  • Voltage Output: Requires a supply voltage of 20 to 30 VDC, with a current consumption of approximately 40 mA. The output voltage ranges from 0 to 10 VDC with a nonlinearity of 1%.
Connections: The system supports various pin configurations for current, voltage, and incremental outputs, with specific cable color codes for each function.
Ordering Code: The ordering code includes specifications for group function, measurement type, output circuit type, basic series number, connection type, resolution, measuring length, connector location, linearity, and output signals. Special functions and designs are designated by a code (Sxxx).
