Draw-wire mechanisms


Customizable

High-quality precision components

Virtually any encoder can be mounted

Draw-wire mechanisms for customized encoder mounting

wireSENSOR draw-wire mechanisms are the ideal basis for encoder manufacturers wishing to implement their own measuring systems efficiently, reliably and economically. Drawing on many years of experience in draw-wire measurement technology, Micro-Epsilon offers a broad portfolio with various measuring ranges and designs. The mechanisms are specially designed for direct encoder mounting and provide optimum force transmission, high repeatability and a long service life, even under demanding industrial conditions. Whether used as an OEM solution or as the basis for customized adaptations, wireSENSOR draw-wire mechanisms offer an economically attractive and technically high-quality sensor solution.

Encoder mounting – WPS mechanisms

A synchro flange is included as standard with the WPS mechanisms. A clamping flange can be used as an option. For OEM products, we develop product-specific adapters.

Encoder mounting – WDS mechanisms

Micro-Epsilon wireSENSOR mechanisms are designed for mounting various encoders. A synchro flange is included as standard. A clamping flange can be used as an option. For OEM products, we develop product-specific adapters.

WPS mechanisms – for confined installation spaces

The wireSENSOR mechanisms of the MK and K series are designed for easy mounting of an incremental or absolute encoder. The interface, resolution and connection type can therefore be selected individually. Thanks to their compact design, the mechanisms can also be integrated into confined installation spaces.

Characteristics:

  • Measuring ranges: 1,500 | 2,400 | 2,500 | 3,500 | 5,000 | 8,000 | 12,000 mm
  • Temperature range:  -40 … +85 °C
  • Linearity: ± 0.1 % FSO
  • Resolution: depending on the encoder
  • Output type: depending on the encoder

WDS mechanisms – for industrial environments

The wireSENSOR mechanisms of the P60, P96, P115 and P200 series are designed for easy mounting of an incremental or absolute encoder. The interface, resolution and connection type can therefore be selected individually. Thanks to their robust aluminum housing, the mechanisms are particularly suitable for industrial environments.

Characteristics:

  • Measuring ranges: 1,500 | 3,000 | 5,000 | 7,500 | 10,000 | 15,000 | 30,000 | 40,000 | 50,000 mm
  • Temperature range: -20 … +80 °C
  • Linearity: ± 0.01 % FSO
  • Resolution: depending on the encoder
  • Output type: depending on the encoder
