Draw Wire Position Transducer (Magnetic Absolute)

AWP 515

Magnetic Absolute Draw Wire — Up to 15,000 mm, CANopen

Magnetic Absolute IP54 15,000 mm CANopen
AWP 515 Magnetic Absolute Draw Wire Sensor

Overview

The AWP 515 is a magnetic absolute draw wire sensor for strokes up to 15,000 mm. The absolute magnetic measuring principle retains position data without battery backup — ideal for applications where power loss cannot cause position loss. Programmable analog output and CANopen fieldbus options allow integration into modern control systems.

Magnetic absolute measuring — no battery backup required, retains position on power loss

Up to 15,000 mm stroke — covers very long travel ranges in a single sensor

Programmable analog or CANopen output — flexible integration into any control architecture

1 m/s maximum speed — suits most slow to medium speed positioning systems

IP54 standard, IP67 optional — reliable in dusty and wet environments

Stainless steel wire — corrosion resistant, high tensile strength
