Analog linear draw wire sensors are suitable for motion control and position measurement.
The precision pulley is coupled to a potentiometer which converts the linear mechanical movement into a resistive value proportional to the movement of the mobile.
The resistive value is then translated into an analog value 0-10V / 0-5V / 4-20mA or 0-20mA.
The measuring range of the AK-Industries' CD50 reaches 1250 mm.
Its precision, size and robustness make it suitable for a wide range of applications: industry (including tough environments), hydraulic (including association with hydraulic cylinders), machine tools, automotive, energy (e.g installation of photovoltaic systems), automation, etc.
