Questions about this product
- What does this draw-wire position sensor measure?
- It tracks linear position by extending a steel cable as something moves. People use it to check how far hydraulic cylinders travel and to feed position data to assembly lines. It also suits gate position tracking and monitoring building or gantry movement.
- What outputs does it have for connecting to a PLC?
- It offers standard analog outputs, 4-20mA and voltage, which most PLCs read directly. Digital options like SSI and incremental encoder are also available. It runs on a 10 to 30V DC supply, so it fits common industrial power.
- Can I use this sensor outdoors or in a wet factory?
- Yes. The case is waterproof and rated IP67, so it stands up to washdowns and outdoor exposure. It works from -20 to about 80 degrees C. The compact aluminum housing also fits into tight spots without losing accuracy.
