Cable pull sensors
For capturing linear movements.
Highest measuring accuracy and maximum adaptability: Thanks to their modular design, versatile forms, and robust construction, our wire draw sensors at SCHMACHTL are suitable for almost all application areas. While the innovative threaded spindle technology ensures maximum accuracy for measuring lengths from 0.5 to 60 m, special flange and coupling mounts allow for easy installation of all common rotary encoders. Should you still require a custom solution, individual adjustments and modifications are possible even for small quantities.
