Cable transducer encoders

Cable-pull (Wire draw) encoders are the easiest and most reliable options for linear position measurement and positioning. They measure over the entire measuring range in an almost linear manner, and are used for measuring lengths of up to 50 m. The cable pulls are specially designed for industrial applications and are therefore particularly high-quality and durable. Cable-pull encoders are suitable for integrated or subsequent installation, and are perfectly suited for series production by OEMs. Wire draw encoders consist of a wire draw mechanism and an encoder. The rotation of the drum, which is proportional to the length being measured, is recorded and output by an encoder. This facilitates positioning on linear measuring paths. SICK's wire draw encoders support a large selection of interfaces and facilitate easy system integration for applications in challenging industrial settings. Different performance classes make it possible to select the ideal device for the application at hand.
