CD120 Incremental Draw Wire Encoders

Sensata – BEI Sensors' draw wire encoders are built for harsh environments

Image of Sensata BEI Sensors CD120 Incremental Draw Wire EncodersSensata BEI Sensors' draw wire sensor assemblies combine a rotary sensor such as an encoder with a spring-loaded retractable cable on a drum. This combination provides a means to translate the precision of a rotary encoder into a linear measurement.

Features
  • A full 120 inches (10 feet) of measurement capability
  • Wire drum is scaled so that one revolution = one foot of measurement
  • Mounting bracket and encoder position can be rotated in 90° increments to accommodate a variety of installation requirements
  • ±0.05% linearity
  • IP65 rating
Applications
  • Concrete, wood, steel sawing
  • Mast height measurement for fork truck AGVs
  • Extension measurement for small cranes
  • Flood control gates
  • Hydraulic cylinder position
