Line distance transducer - way of operation, review of available types

A Cable-Extension Transducer, sometimes also known as a string pot, a draw wire senor, a string encoder or a yo yo pot, is a device used to detect and measure linear position and velocity using a flexible cable and a spring-loaded spool.

Simply mount the transducer's body to a fixed surface and attach the stainless steel cable to the movable object. As the object moves, the transducer produces an electrical signal that is proportaional to the cable's linear extension or velocity. This signal can then be sent to a display, a PLC or data aquisition system
Cable-Exension Tranducers (CETs) are composed of four main parts:
  1. Measuring Cable
  2. Spool
  3. Spring
  4. Rotational Sensor

Measuring the movement and position of objects is easy with CETs.

CETs can be installed in minutes, fitted into prcarous or tight areas and they do not require perfectly parallel alignment. They also offer great flexibility, a small size to measurement ratio and they cost less than rod or wand-type measurement devices.

CETs can be used in a wide variety of applications including industrial factory automation, high-tech medical devices, structural and automotive testing, die-casting or injection molding, hydraulic cylinder control or just about anything else you can think of...
