Kübler is offering a line of industrial draw wire encoders. These rugged transducers are a cost effective way to measure linear displacements from 1 to 40 m in demanding industrial environments. Common applications include crane operation, elevators, forklifts and scissor jacks. With an expected life of up to a million cycles, the robust Kübler draw wire encoders are suited to these harsh environments.
Draw wire transducers use a drum on which a measuring wire is wound. A rotary encoder or potentiometer is connected to the spring-loaded drum, which automatically retracts the wire to an angular position.
The Mini Draw Wire D5 is available in either 1 or 2 m lengths with incremental or analog outputs. The longer length units (series D8) are offered in lengths from 2 to 40 m and are available with either incremental, absolute or fieldbus outputs. Virtually any 58 mm Kübler encoder can be installed onto the D8 style draw wire housing, giving the customer a wide array of solutions for any design requirements. All of the draw wire encoders also have temperature and ageing compensation, as well as short-circuit and reverse polarity protection.

To use AI responsibly and effectively, you need at least a basic understanding of how they work and where they can fail. Generative AI then becomes a powerful assistant; without it, you are effectively ‘prompting and praying’, exposing yourself to errors and professional embarrassment.
