Siko SGP/1 Draw-Wire Encoder – 6000mm Analog Sensor

Siko SGP/1 Draw-Wire Encoder is a robust wire-actuated sensor designed for precise linear measurement over lengths of up to 6000 mm. Featuring flexible analog output options—including potentiometric, current source, or voltage—this device ensures seamless integration into various industrial control systems. Its durable construction and adaptable signal processing make it an ideal choice for demanding position monitoring tasks.

Description

Siko SGP/1 Draw-Wire Encoder stands out for its adaptability and durable construction. Encased in a housing made of aluminum and plastic, it is built to perform reliably in rigorous industrial environments. The device functions by converting linear motion into an electrical signal, offering a versatile range of analog outputs to suit different controller requirements.

Optimized Signal Precision

A key competitive advantage of the SGP/1 is its integrated gear mechanism. This feature allows for the easy adjustment of the output signal to match the actual measuring length of the application. By adapting the potentiometer or resistance range specifically to the measurement distance, the encoder ensures high accuracy and signal integrity across its entire 6000 mm range.
