Draw Wire Encoders

The right draw-wire encoder for every application.

From precise to compact to robust and cost-optimised. Kübler offers a comprehensive portfolio based on different measuring lengths. In addition to all common interfaces, innovative features such as integrated inclinometers or redundant sensors make the difference.

From analog to fieldbus, draw-wire mechanisms can be combined with a wide variety of Sendix encoders according to customer requirements. That is why we offer countless ordering options and are ready to realise modifications and special solutions for you.

It starts before the order

Three questions we ask alongside the part number, so the measuring system suits the travel and the machine.

Question one

Where does it run?

Temperature range, washdown and IP rating, the space available for the mechanism, and where the wire feeds from.

Question two

What is it doing?

Measuring length and travel speed, the linearity you need, and which Sendix interface your control system speaks.

Question three

What if it is wrong?

Lost position, a machine that overtravels, a measuring cable worn through, downtime on a boom or a hoist.

B75

The flattest on the market

The B75 draw-wire encoder can be used up to a measuring length of 3 metres. These draw-wire mechanisms may be combined with the proven Kübler Sendix encoders with incremental or absolute interface, as well as with analog sensors, which are also available in redundant version.
