When we face some difficult measurement problems, try some innovative thinking. Perhaps you will find BEI's cable sensor is a good solution. The pull sensor is a flexible position sensor combination. Most people may not be familiar with the structure of this product, which consists of a loop of high-quality, aviation-grade cable wound around a calibrated spool, with a rotary encoder attached to the spool. The spool will be mechanically packaged and designed to be self-rolled by a spring mechanism.
This configuration allows the measuring head to be placed near the measuring point. This method is particularly suitable for applications where high or harsh environments exist in the measurement location; in addition, not all measurement locations are easily accessible. In this type of situation, the wire sensor can bypass obstacles and reposition the wire at some corners by using the guide wheel. After all, in some cases, the shortest distance measurement is not necessarily a straight line! Click on the picture above to learn more about BEI LT25 and CD series cable sensor solutions.
