Description
Overview
GAOTek precision rope tension position sensor with anti-vibration technology draw wire sensors provides a straightforward solution for measuring linear speed and position. These sensors employ a flexible cable, a spring-loaded spool, and a sensor to accurately determine linear position. Unlike other linear measurement methods, drawing wire sensors do not require precise linear guidance, making them ideal for challenging environments such as wet, dirty, or outdoor conditions. Industries like iron, steel, and wood (sawmills, joinery) benefit greatly from their robust performance. Also known as cable transducers, cable-extension transducers, string potentiometers, draw wire transducers, yo-yo pots, linear position string pots, and string encoders, these sensors offer versatility in various applications. To select the appropriate encoder, refer to the available outer sizes in the selection guide.
