INTRODUCTION WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH is a manufacturer of high quality draw wire position sensors for industrial use. Due to its small overall size, its short assembly time and its possible customisation, the SX sensor technology is a cost-effective and flexible solution for a wide range of industrial applications. The dynamics of the draw wire transducer allows a high motion speed and acceleration of the measuring target. Its rugged design and high quality makes applications in harsh industrial environments possible. Special instruments are available with mounting service of encoder...

TECHNICAL DRAWING OPTIONS CHANGED ROPE OUTLET AND CABLE OUTPUT Mounting: rope outlet sideways bottom (S2), rope outlet bottom (S3) Sensors with option rope outlet S2 and S3 have a modified base plate: Measurement range Mounting: standard rope outlet, rope outlet sideways top (S1) The sensor is usually installed by using the regular mounting plate (see technical drawing above). By disassembling the mounting plate, there are 4 threads (2 x M3, 2 x M5) in the sensor housing for alternative installation.

OPTIONS The following table gives an overview of frequently used options, with which the standard sensors can be equipped. Please pay attention that not all options can be combined. Information on possible combinations can be found in the order codes. Option Changed cable or connector orientation (NOT with analog output) Improved linearity Inverted output signal (analog output only) Description Rope outlet points upwards (see drawing on page 8): Standard: sideways, opposite to the rope outlet K1: at the top K2: sideways, same side as the rope outlet K3: at the bottom Improved linearity 0.02 %...

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...
