Draw Wire Encoders (Incremental)

AWE 310

Draw Wire Encoder - High Strength Stainless Steel Wire, 0–10,000 mm

AWE 310

Overview

Long-range draw wire encoder for strokes up to 10 metres, widely used in elevators, cranes, hydraulic machines, and industrial robots. The AWE 310 delivers reliable incremental optical output over its full stroke with ±0.25% FS accuracy.

Stroke to 10,000 mm - 0–5,000 mm or 0–10,000 mm versions

0.3 mm/pulse standard resolution - 3 pulses/mm

12 N retraction force - maintains wire tension over long extensions

~2,700 g body - robust housing for demanding environments

IP53 rated - dust and water spray protection

±0.25% FS accuracy - reliable over the full stroke length
