Siko SG42 Draw-Wire Encoder – Redundant 4000mm Sensor

Siko SG42 Draw-Wire Encoder is a high-performance linear measurement solution engineered for safety-critical applications. Featuring a redundant sensor system, this device ensures the reliable acquisition of linear measurement distances up to a maximum length of 4000 mm. Its robust construction and versatile mounting options make it an ideal choice for harsh industrial environments where precision and dependability are paramount.

Description

Siko SG42 Draw-Wire Encoder sets a new standard for reliability in linear positioning. Its standout feature is the redundant sensor system, which provides an analogue signal output in a redundant design (offering 2x 4…20 mA or potentiometer options). This dual-signal capability is essential for applications requiring fail-safe operation and enhanced system integrity.

Built to Withstand Harsh Conditions

Engineered for durability, the SG42 boasts a robust design capable of withstanding rigorous operational demands. It features a very robust measuring rope made of stainless steel, ensuring longevity even in abrasive or high-tension environments. To further protect the internal mechanics, the housing includes lockable vent and water drain holes, preventing moisture accumulation and condensation damage. With an IP65 protection class, this encoder is fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor and heavy industrial use.
