    Tape extension sensors

    May 28, 2013
    WB61 tape extension sensors measure strokes to 4 m, yet feature a compact housing. They provide three analog and three digital outputs (SSI, CANopen, CAN, SAE J1939), the option of redundant design, and nonlinearity of ±0.10%. They work best where multiple pulleys are required. Stainless steel measuring tape is not liable to break when using several pulleys, for adherence to strict safety requirements for cranes.
