Draw Wire Sensors [78]
Draw wire sensors are used for linear position and displacement measurement in industrial systems where installation space is limited or long measuring ranges are required. By converting cable extension into rotational feedback, this type of sensor provides a practical solution for stroke monitoring, height detection, platform positioning, hydraulic systems, lifting equipment, and other applications involving linear movement.
This category includes draw wire sensor solutions with different measuring lengths, signal outputs, housing sizes, and mounting arrangements. Depending on the project requirements, the output may be combined with incremental encoders, absolute encoders, analog signals, or other position feedback methods. Compact structures are often selected for restricted installation spaces, while longer-range versions are used in equipment with extended travel distances.
When selecting a draw wire sensor, the key factors usually include measuring range, output type, mechanical life, cable material, mounting direction, environmental protection, and matching requirements for the target control system. This section helps users evaluate draw wire sensor configurations for industrial displacement monitoring, retrofit projects, and new equipment integration.
