Measurement type


Draw-wire encoders are devices that are used to measure lengths or positions. They usually consist of a rope or cord wound around a pulley. When the rope is pulled or retracted, the movement is converted into an electrical signal. This signal can then be used to determine position or to control machines. Draw-wire encoders are often used in automation technology, robotics and various industrial applications where precise measurements are required.
