SICK EcoLine Series Absolute Draw Wire Encoder

Measured lengths: 1.25 m ... 10 m
Modular measuring system with a wide selection of interfaces/measuring lengths
Very small, slim housing (55 mm ... 190 mm) with spring integrated in the measurement drum
Light yet shock-proof and temperature-resistant plastic housing
Analog interface with teach-in function at the encoder

Space- and cost-saving design thanks to slimline mechanics
Numerous possible combinations of interfaces and measuring lengths
Advanced programming options lead to a reduction in the amount of variants, save costs, and reduce storage
Analog interface speeds up commissioning and cost-effective interface card can be used

The slim design of the EcoLine family is ideal for applications with limited space. Its modularity makes it suitable for a large selection of measuring lengths, interfaces and encoders. Due to the into the drum integrated spring as well as the adaption without coupling, it is possible to achieve high precision and stability. The special nozzle serves to protect the measuring wire from damage caused by vibration. The intuitive teach-in function provided in analog options also enables easy system integration.
