Draw Wire Sensor MH120-2

INTRODUCTION The draw wire sensors of the mobile hydraulic series MH120 were specially developed for the demanding area of construction machines and construction equipment. The sensor can be individually configured depending on the application, in which it is used. Small adhesive and abrasive particles with small grain size can easily be removed when using the open MH120 versions. Seawater resistant protective grating provide a maximum protection against larger foreign objects like tree branches. In case of applications with high safety requirements, thicker stainless-steel wire ropes are available,...

Draw Wire Sensor MH120-8

Draw wire sensors with the analogue output versions 5VT and 10VT are equipped with teachable, internal electronics, called VT-Electronics. The signals provided by the sensor's potentiometer are digitized by the VT-Electronics. This digital information is first processed by the electronics, then transformed back and given out as an analogue output signal 0 to 5 V or 0 to 10 V. The digitization offers two possibilities of adjustment, by which the sensor can be configured individually using the Squeezer: 1. Teaching of the measurement range. After a successful teaching process, the squeezer can...

Draw Wire Sensor MH120-9

Single analog signal WARNING NOTICES • Do not let the rope snap back. If the rope is retracted freely, this may lead to injuries (whiplash effect) and the device may be damaged. • Caution when unhooking and retracting the rope into the sensor. • Never exceed the specified measurement range when extracting the rope! • Do not try to open the device. The stored energy of the spring drive may lead to injuries when being mishandled. • Do not touch the rope when operating the sensor. • Avoid guiding the rope over edges or corners. Use a deflection pulley instead. • Do not operate the sensor if the...
