We are please to announce the launch of the Lika Draw Wire Encoders!

Also known as string encoders or string potentiometers, Lika draw wire linear measurement devices use a steel cable wrapped on a spring-loaded reel to measure distance.

• The reel is connected to a rotary encoder or potentiometer that can provide very accurate feedback on how far the steel cable has been extended.

• Lika draw wire encoders provide encoder (quadrature) or 0-10V or 4-20mA analog outputs and are available in pull-lengths from 2 to 10 meters.

They are a good solution when the operational space is constricted, or the environmental conditions are severe.

• The body of the encoder can be mounted in a safe place, easily accessible, and adequately protected, while the measuring wire requires minimum space and can be subjected to harsher conditions.

• They can also replace traditional encoders in some cases.

• Typical applications include linear measuring, vertical lift measurement, cylinder stroke measurement, or any application where accurate, inexpensive, and easy-to-install measurement of a linear distance is required.
