UniMeasure manufactures a broad
line of wire rope actuated linear position and linear velocity
transducers. Often referred to as a string pot, a yo-yo pot,
a draw wire transducer, a linear position transducer, or a cable
extension transducer, the device has proven to be an attractive
approach for a multitude of applications in many different industries.
With relatively non-critical alignment requirements, compact
size, and ease of installation, wire rope actuated transducers
are the linear position measurement system of choice in applications
as diverse as bone densitometers in the medical industry, crash
testing in the automobile industry, pump jacks in the crude oil
extraction industry and irrigation and flood control in the water
management industry. With a variety of available electrical outputs
that include voltage, 4 to 20 mA current and digital, UniMeasure
linear displacement transducer products provide an extremely
cost effective method for linear position and velocity feedback.
