Draw wire sensors are low-cost, compact sensors which accurately measure the position or change in position of objects. Core components of a draw wire sensor are a precision measuring wire and a sensor element (e.g. potentiometer or encoder), which convert the path change into a proportional electrical signal. The maintenance-free draw wires are particularly quick and easy to assemble and are used because of their reliability in all areas of industry.
Draw wire sensors by WayCon are available in many different models and with a variety of output signals. Measurement ranges from 50mm up to 50m and with an array of options available, matching the right sensor to your measuring task becomes a simple process.
