high quality draw wire sensor
A high quality draw wire sensor represents a sophisticated measurement technology designed for precise linear position and distance measurements across various industrial applications. This advanced sensor consists of a flexible wire or cable wound around a spring loaded drum, combined with a rotary encoder or potentiometer that translates linear motion into electrical signals. The wire extends and retracts with the measured object's movement, providing accurate position data in real time. These sensors are engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy, typically achieving measurements within ±0.1% of full scale, and can span measurement ranges from a few inches to several hundred feet. The robust construction features durable materials like stainless steel cables and weather resistant housings, ensuring reliable operation in challenging industrial environments. The sensor's versatile design allows for easy integration into existing systems, offering various output options including analog, digital, and incremental signals. Advanced models incorporate features such as built in redundancy, programmable limit switches, and temperature compensation for enhanced reliability and precision. These sensors excel in applications requiring continuous position monitoring, such as stage machinery, industrial automation, mobile hydraulics, and material handling systems.
