Die Cast metal Housings for Draw Wire Encoder

This linear sensor is best suited for long stroke applications in demanding environments. Its die cast housing and its 0.86 mm [0.34 in] diameter nylon coated stainless steel wire makes it an excellent choice for outdoor applications like offshore cranes, spreaders, irrigation, water gate positioning and mining. Available in 5 [200 in] and 10 m [400 in] measuring lengths.

Extruded Metal Housings for Linear Sensor

This robust aluminum draw wire with flexible mounting options is suitable for demanding environments. Flexible mounting options make installation easy in a variety of applications. Suitable for applications that require high acceleration, up to 7g. Available in 3 [118 in], 5 [196 in] and 10 m [393 in] measuring length.

Machined Metal Housings Draw Wire Sensor

The aluminum housing provides a reliable sensor ideal for industrial environments. Being both economical and compact, these are appropriate for a wide variety of applications. Available in 1.25 m [49.2 in], 1.74 m [ 68.5 in], 2 m [78.7 in], 3 m [118 in] and 6 m [ 236 in] measuring lengths.

Plastic Housings for Draw Wire Encoder

Unbeatable economic pricing in large quantities and a small footprint makes this tough draw wire encoders the preferred OEM customer selection. Well engineered mechanics in combination with POSITAL’s fully digital rotary encoders means these draw wires do not loose accuracy even after one million strokes. Available in 1.25m [49.2 in] and 2.1 m [82.67 in] measuring lengths.
