In many applications both displacement and tilt angle need to be determined. Combining both sensors in one sensor housing has advantages, it saves costs, installation space, cabling and installation time.
The posiwire® draw wire sensor WST series offers such a combined displacement and inclination measurement. The new generation of sensors are equipped with non-contact, magnetic multihall encoder technology and are therefore considerably more robust than conventional cable sensors that use optical encoders or potentiometer solutions. The inclination angle is measured by an integrated inclination sensor element based on MEMS technology. The sensor is suitable for use in harsh environments such as in mobile machines.
The posiwire® WST series sensor measures a linear position up to 20,000 mm and inclination between +/- 180 ° in 1 axis. The sensor is available with a digital output CANopen and for safety applications the CANopen redundant. The linearity of the sensors is up to +/- 0.05% of the measuring range for linear position and up to 0.05 ° for the inclination angle. The sensor has protection class IP67/IP69.
