Wire actuated encoders fully integrate in a single package both the cable pull assembly and an incremental / absolute encoder. This results in very small, compact and robust devices ideally suited for a variety of industrial applications and especially for installation where space is limited. The working principle in fact allows the wire to provide safe linear position feedback even in constricted or inaccessible environments, while the sensing circuitry can be kept protected from external influences and contaminants. Cable pulling encoders are suitable for installation in a variety of industrial applications for both linear position and speed measurements. They find typical use for short travel distances in telescopic systems and hydraulic pistons (for instance in mobile equipment such as outriggers, stabilizing slides, telescopic cranes, booms ...), forklifts, man-lifts, scissor lifts and loading platforms.
