Draw Wire Encoders

	MK30 encoder for OEMs

Draw-wire displacement sensors are essentially electronic tape measures and measure the linear movement of a component by means of a wire made from highly-flexible stainless steel strands, which is wound onto a drum by a long-life spring motor. The measuring drum is axially-coupled with a multi-turn potentiometer, an incremental encoder, or an absolute encoder. With the draw-wire principle a linear movement is transformed into a rotary movement and converted into a resistance change or into countable increments

Non-contact Distance Sensors

	ILR 250 meter range!

The non-contact laser displacement sensors of the optoNCDT series use various optical measuring principles for meausurement of displacement, distance and position. The confocal sensors are designed for high-resolution measurements, the laser-triangulation sensors are designed for precise measurements in industrial applications and the time-of-flight sensors are designed for huge measuring distances
