2.1
With the wire principle, a linear motion is transfor-
med into a rotary motion.
A measuring wire made of highly flexible stainless
steel wires is wound onto a drum with the aid of a
long life spring motor.
The winding drum is coupled axially with an
encoder.

2.2
The wireSENSOR mechanisms of the series Z60-M, P96-M, P115-M and P200-M are designed to ensure
simple installation of an incremental or absolute encoder. Individual selection of the interfaces, resolution and
type of connection is thus possible.
