It is wound on a spring-wired drum and then pulled out and rewound during operation.<\/li>\n<p>\\n<\/ol>\n<p>\\nThe stainless-steel wire is attached to the moving axis being measured. The encoder is coupled to the spring-wired drum, so as the cable moves back and forth, the encoder is rotated. In this way, the <strong>linear motion of the wire is translated into a rotary motion by the drum and then into a positional information by the encoder<\/strong>. Additionally, the <strong>wire\u2019s flexibility enables curved travels<\/strong> through guiding rollers.\\n\\n&nbsp;\\n\\n<strong>Why a draw-wire encoder?\\n<\/strong>Let\u2019s consider that the encoder-drum assembly (the fixed part of the device and also the most delicate one) and the stainless-steel wire that is attached to the mechanism being measured (the moving and the most rugged part) can viewed in some way as two separate components. Thus, the encoder-drum assembly can be installed away from the wire and the axis being monitored operate. For this reason, the assembly can mount in a safe place, easily accessible, and adequately protected while the stainless-steel cable can be submitted to harsh environmental conditions at the same time &#8211; i.e. dirty, humidity, high temperatures, etc. Furthermore, by virtue of the small footprint of the cable, the operational space required by the wire can be very tight, even a few centimeters wide, since the encoder can be mounted in a different and larger location.\\n\\n&nbsp;\\n\\nA further benefit is that the <strong>cable-pulling mechanism can be coupled to any encoder<\/strong> which preserves the same complete set of functions as the standard encoder. This provides excellent flexibility in terms of applications and environments. Lika\u2019s range includes the following versions:\\n<\/p>\n<ul>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li>with <strong>programmable incremental encoder <\/strong>and resolution down to 0.01 mm \/ 10 \u03bcm;<\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li>with <strong>SSI and analogue absolute encoder <\/strong>and resolution down to 0.012 mm \/ 12 \u03bcm;<\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li>with <strong>Ethernet and fieldbus absolute encoder: Profinet, EtherNet\/IP, EtherCAT, POWERLINK, <\/strong> This allows the Ethernet technology to be available in the most uncomfortable conditions (the narrowest spaces, harsh industrial environment); resolution down to 0.024 mm \/ 24 \u03bcm;<\/li>\n<p>\\n \\t<\/p>\n<li><strong>string pot.<\/strong><\/li>\n<p>\\n<\/ul>\n<p>\\n&nbsp;\\n\\n<strong><a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.lika.it\/eng\/prodotti.php?id_cat=267&amp;id_fam=268\\\"><span style=\\\"color: #352063;\\\">Check out Lika&#8217;s full draw-wire offering.<\/span><\/a><\/strong>&#8220;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_space&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;GPK3K&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;size&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;height&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},{&#8220;component&#8221;:&#8221;hc_pt_navigation&#8221;,&#8221;id&#8221;:&#8221;VTsFE&#8221;,&#8221;css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_classes&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;custom_css_styles&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;post_type_slug&#8221;:&#8221;post&#8221;,&#8221;archive_link&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;previous_text&#8221;:&#8221;Previous Article&#8221;,&#8221;next_text&#8221;:&#8221;Next Article&#8221;}]}],&#8221;section_settings&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;},&#8221;scripts&#8221;:{},&#8221;css&#8221;:{},&#8221;css_page&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;template_setting&#8221;:{&#8220;settings&#8221;:{&#8220;id&#8221;:&#8221;settings&#8221;}},&#8221;template_setting_top&#8221;:{},&#8221;page_setting&#8221;:{&#8220;settings&#8221;:[&#8220;lock-mode-off&#8221;]},&#8221;post_type_setting&#8221;:{&#8220;settings&#8221;:{&#8220;image&#8221;:&#8221;http:\/\/www.hymark.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/draw-wire-encoders-326&#215;200.png|200|326|434&#8243;,&#8221;excerpt&#8221;:&#8221;Draw-wire encoders are a little-known type of measuring system.
