Draw Wire Encoder (Incremental)

AWE 404

Aluminium Box Body — 0–4,000 mm Stroke, IP54

Optical IP54 Incremental Box Body
AWE 404 Draw Wire Encoder

Overview

The AWE 404 is a draw wire incremental encoder housed in a robust aluminium box body. It converts linear motion into incremental digital pulses via an optical encoder and high-strength stainless steel wire. Available in strokes up to 4,000 mm, the box housing provides extra mechanical protection suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Aluminium box housing — extra mechanical protection for demanding environments

Optical incremental measurement — accurate digital pulse output for position control

Up to 4,000 mm stroke — flexible stroke options from 0–1,000 mm to 0–4,000 mm

IP54 standard, IP67 optional — suited to wet and dusty industrial environments

Stainless steel wire — corrosion resistant, high tensile strength

Multiple output types available — PP, TTL, HTL, HPL to suit any controller
