Spring Type Incremental Linear Encoder Sensor, 8~24V

A spring type incremental linear encoder is a device used to measure linear position or displacement. It consists of a spring type retractable cable (steel wire rope) and an internal incremental rotary encoder. As the cable moves with the object being measured, the encoder converts this motion into pulse signals, thus achieving position tracking.

When the cable is pulled out or retracted, it drives an internal roller connected to the encoder shaft to rotate. The encoder then generates incremental A/B quadrature pulses proportional to the motion. The control system calculates displacement, direction, and velocity by counting these pulses. The built-in spring ensures the cable maintains constant tension, resulting in stable and accurate measurements.

Spring type linear encoders are compact, easy to install, and do not require strict alignment. They offer high cost-effectiveness compared to other linear measurement solutions. Spring type linear encoders are suitable for various industrial environments, such as lifting systems, hydraulic systems, automated equipment, and mobile machinery.
