Linear displacement sensors - Cable-actuated sensors

Cable-actuated sensors, also known as cable-extension transducer, stringpots or draw-wire sensors, can detect and measure linear position and velocity using a flexible cable and spring-loaded spool.

The cable-actuated sensors are available with measurement ranges up to 40 meters (1575 inches). Potentiometric, analog (0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA) and digital outputs (incremental, CANopen) are available on many models.
