This document introduces the features and characteristics of Kübler's draw wire encoders, including compact design, measuring length of up to 2000mm, and robust construction. The encoder converts linear motion to rotary motion using a wire mechanism, and the rotation is then converted into corresponding electrical signals by an encoder or potentiometer. The electrical signals can be processed by remote displays, counters, or controllers. Kübler also offers a wide range of displays, counters, and controllers.
The Mini draw wire encoder converts linear motion to rotary motion using a stainless‑steel wire and provides electrical signals for remote displays, counters or controllers. It is compact, robust, and suitable for measuring lengths up to 2000 mm with high accuracy.
The manual lists mechanical and electrical characteristics, wiring colour codes, terminal assignments, and order codes for different wire lengths and output types (push‑pull, analogue, 4‑20 mA, 0‑10 V). It also includes environmental ratings and CE compliance information.
