New miniature wire-draw encoder with incremental or analog output
February 2003Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
Kübler in Germany is offering a line of miniature wire-draw encoders with either incremental or analog outputs. These robust units come in a compact design 55 x 40 x 40 mm. They offer high accuracy with a measuring range of up to 2 m, so offering an effective solution to many standard length and positioning requirements in the construction of machinery and plant. The incremental or analog output signals can then easily be processed by a separate digital indicator. The incremental output version of the wire-draw encoder has the following features: 1000 ppr, inverted signals, a supply voltage range from either 5-24 Vd.c. or 8-30 Vd.c. as well as a push-pull output. All Kübler encoders also benefit from temperature and ageing compensation, short-circuit protected outputs and reverse polarity protection on the power-supply input. A low-cost alternative to the encoder version is available in the wire-draw encoder with analog output. This offers a measuring length of up to 1 m. The customer has a choice of analog output signals available, either 0 ... 10 Vd.c. or 4 ... 20 mA, as well as a 10 kW potentiometer. A wide range of accessories is also available, for example, idler pulleys and cable extensions.
