Siko SG42 Draw-Wire Encoder

Siko SG42 Draw-Wire Encoder, robust design and redundant sensor system with 4000 mm measuring length, Wire-actuated encoder with the redundant acquisition of linear measurement distances with a max. measuring the length of 4000 mm.

Length measurement technology with Siko SG42 Draw-Wire Encoder

SIKO wire-actuated encoders have been in use for many years in the field of length measuring technology and have already proved their worth in different conditions, including difficult conditions Robust compact design, with maximum precision and reliability are the criteria that are set as the most important goals for every new development in this area.

Only a wire-actuated encoder can be used as a linear measured displacement encoder for many applications because no guided sensor systems can be used due to the spatial constellation.

Wire-Actuated Encoders Are Robust, even in Adverse Conditions

Thanks to the possibility of attaching various rotary encoders, wire-actuated encoders provide a wide range of possibilities for use, regardless of what signal output is required.  The user is able to assemble the encoder himself or herself using simple means. Outdoor use, something that can never be ruled out for mobile machines, in particular, is already standard for the wire-actuated position encoders, which meet the necessary prerequisites: working temperature ranging from -40°C to +80°C, the robust casing that can include outlets by means of which fluid in the device can be drained off again.

The basic design of SIKO wire-actuated encoders

The way it works is very simple: a measuring wire is wound onto an internal drum in one layer, guaranteeing very high linearity across the entire measurement range. When the wire is pulled out, the drum rotates. The angle sensor connected directly to the drum axis registers this rotation and produces a measurement signal that is proportional to the wire movement and that can be evaluated at will. The wire is returned using a spiral spring on the rotational axis of the drum. Because the wire is simply attached to the measurement object, especially little effort is required for assembly.
