Linear wire transducers
The transducer consists of an encoder or a potentiometer operated by means of a wire-reel mechanism; the wire is out of stainless steel covered with nylon.
The potentiometer HPS provides an analogue signal proportional to the linear displacement of the wire, while the encoder HLS provides a number of pulses proportional to the linear displacement of the wire. The inside spring controls the return of the wire to the starting position.
For both types the travel speed is 1000/2000 mm/sec., depending on the stroke, and the protection degree granted by the stout anodysed aluminium case is IP64. The connection is by means of a cable 1 m long. The operators will surely appreciate the mounting method, which is particularly easy.
