DRAW WIRE SENSORS

Product catalog summary
Overview of Draw Wire Sensors
Draw wire sensors are versatile devices used for measuring linear positions. They consist of a flexible stainless-steel wire wrapped around a capstan, which is connected to a sensor housing. As the distance between the sensor and the target object changes, the wire is pulled out or retracted, causing the capstan to rotate and generate a proportional electrical signal.

DRAW WIRE SENSORS-5

Draw wire sensors for heavy-duty applications must be designed to be particularly robust in order to operate reliably even under extreme operating conditions. High robustness, good resistance to shock and vibration, and safe operation in harsh environments are among the key requirements. The GX200 series has been specially developed for these tasks and is therefore the ideal solution for applications in offshore environments, in mining and on cranes. Features ► Multifunctional sensor for extremely rough environments ► Measured dimensions: position, velocity and inclination ► Suitable for marine...
