Linear Cable Encoder

Wire draw encoders consist of a wire draw mechanism and an encoder.

Linear cable encoder.

Axis lengths of up to 100 m. Winner of a queen s award for enterprise 2015 in the innovation category what is rsla30 scale. Bei industrial encoders new linear cable transducer provides digital position and speed feedback information in a rugged easy to install package. The rotation of the drum which is proportional to the length being measured is recorded and output by an encoder.

This facilitates positioning on linear measuring paths. A draw wire encoder is a linear measuring device that consists of a spring wound cable reel with a rotary encoder mounted on the hub of the reel. The microe brand of miniature precision optical encoders is available in several form factors and mounting options with incremental and absolute interfaces and resolutions up to 1 2 nm. These scales have zero position memory also known as absolute abs positioning which retains the measuring position when the scale is off.

Five inches of cable movement is equal to one revolution of the encoder. The linear cable encoder lce provides a low cost alternative for obtaining accurate linear measurements. This digital readout dro system displays precise positioning on one axis. Easy installation and reliable measurement results.

As opposed to typical rotary shaft style encoders the lce has a retractable stainless steel cable allowing for numerous measuring configurations. It is the world s first absolute encoder capable of 1 nm resolution up to 100 m s. Mounts directly over the shaft in a few easy steps. Excellent dirt immunity to ip68.

Ultra low sde and jitter result in a linear encoder system that outperforms any other encoder in its class. Simple to install and world class support. Cable transducers to measure length up to 50 m ensure high linearity throughout the entire measuring range. Microe products rotary and linear encoders kit encoders are built with pureprecision and verapath technologies.

Model lt25 cable transducer utilizes a flexible measuring cable mounted to an internal spring loaded spool and a quadrature encoder output to precisely measure linear motion applications.
