Cable Extension Sensors

The new generation of sensors. More robust than ever.

The new generation of posiwire® cable extension sensors with magnetic absolute encoders is significantly more robust than conventional cable sensors. The contact-less, magnetic multihall encoder technology is wear-free and far superior to optical encoders and potentiometer solutions – particularly in challenging environmental conditions. The new generation of sensors is available with redundant encoder systems, and features models with optical encoders or potentiometers.

The latest additions to the range include models with an integrated inclination sensor.

Tape Extension Sensors

Highly rugged. Also suitable for pulleys.

positape® tape extension sensors measure linear positions using a robust, high-tech, stainless-steel measurement tape with a virtually infinite service life. The measurement tape can be deflected several times – even in opposite directions – without significant wear. positape® sensors are fitted exclusively with the new, robust absolute encoder technology. This makes positape® tape extension sensors the superior choice of technology for a range of applications, such as those in challenging environments, in areas at risk of icing over, and those in which the installation conditions require the use of pulleys.

positape® models are now available with an integrated inclination sensor.

positape - Tape Extension Sensors

The Advantages

  • Exceptionally long service life of the measurement tape
  • Multiple deflections possible - including in opposite directions
  • Robust, magnetic absolute encoder technology
  • Degree of protection up to IP68/IP69
  • Measurement ranges up to 20,000 mm
