"Easy installation – reliable measurements"

Cable-pull encoders for linear position feedback

Baumer cable-pull encoders are the easiest and most reliable options for linear position measurement and positioning. They measure over the entire measuring range in an almost linear manner, and are used for measuring lengths of up to 50 m.

The cable pulls are specially designed for industrial applications and are therefore particularly high-quality and durable. Baumer's cable-pull encoders are suitable for integrated or subsequent installation, and are perfectly suited for series production by OEMs.

    Special features

    • For safety-relevant applications, Baumer presents the "BMMS MAGRES redundant" with redundant scanning and self-diagnostics.
    • Cable pulls and encoders can be combined practically at will. This way, you always have the option of using the cable pull with optimum measuring length and the encoder with the right incremental or absolute interface.
    • With programmable encoders, simply adapt the required line count or resolution to the existing measuring length.
