Product catalog summary
Introduction
The WayCon SX200 Draw Wire Sensor is engineered for direct installation in hydraulic cylinder heads. It accurately measures the piston position and provides an output signal via an absolute encoder. The sensor is ideal for long stroke and telescope cylinders, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for various industrial applications.

Key Features
  • Measurement range up to 12 meters
  • Pressure-sealed up to 300 bar
  • Output signals include SSI, CANopen, Profibus, EtherCAT, Profinet
  • Alternative draw wire mechanics for encoder installation
  • Unpressurised encoder

Measurement Principle
The sensor uses a constant spring force to coil the measuring rope on a drum, converting linear motion into rotation. This rotation is transmitted through a pressure seal to an external flange, where the encoder provides the output signal.

Typical Applications
  • Hydraulic gates for dam control
  • Synchronous operation of multiple cylinders
  • Sluice gate control
  • Cylinder acceleration and speed control
  • Stroke control in fairground rides

Technical Data - Mechanics
  • Measurement range: 8/10/12 meters
  • Linearity: ±0.05%
  • Operating temperature: -20 to +70°C
  • Pressure seal: Suitable for hydraulic oils, up to 300 bar
  • Piston travel speed: Max 3 m/s in air
  • Weight: 5 kg
  • Housing: Aluminium ENAW-5754, steel 1.4301

Technical Data - Encoder
  • Linearity: ±0.05%
  • Resolution: Scalable with software
  • Power supply: 10-30 VDC
  • Protection class: IP65, optional IP67
  • Temperature: -20 to +80°C

INTRODUCTION The WayCon SX200 Draw Wire Sensor is designed for an installation directly in the head of a hydraulic cylinder. The sensor reliably determines the exact position of the cylinders piston and emits an equivalent output signal by its sensor element. The draw wire mechanics gets installed in the pressurised area whereas the sensor element (an absolute encoder) is attached at the outside of the cylinder. The SX200 is particularly suitable for long stroke cylinders and telescope cylinders with pressurized oil filled housings. By giving feedback signals to a machine control unit it is possible...
