Linear encoders attached to an actuator are fantastic tools to measure linear motion without the risk of power transfer slip and following error associated with rotary encoders attached to a motor shaft. AutomationDirect offers draw wire encoders from Lika to accomplish this very task. These things are cost effective, robust, and easy to deploy. You simply secure this wire to the motion base, and the encoder measures how far it has been drawn out. While linear optical encoders require careful prevention of dust and debris, and magnetic encoder tape can lose magnetism over time through operator error, draw wire encoders are nearly foolproof. We offer these with standard single and differential pulse outputs, analog voltage or current outputs, as well as some pretty nifty programmable analog options that can be set to custom start and end points. If you need robust position sensing, at a fantastic price, then consider Lika draw wire encoders from AutomationDirect! Check them out on our webstore… AutomationDirect.com
