wireSENSOR: Draw-Wire Displacement Sensors Potentiometer or Encoder Basis

Draw-wire displacement sensors are essentially electronic tape measures and measure the linear movement of a component by means of a wire made of highly-flexible stainless steel strands, which is wound onto a drum by a long-life spring motor. The measuring drum is axially coupled with a multi-turn potentiometer, an incremental encoder, or an absolute encoder. With the draw-wire principle a linear movement is transformed into a rotary movement and converted into a resistance change or into countable increments.
