British Encoder Products Company’s new LCX Series draw wire units work with other encoders to accurately measure position and provide motion feedback in motion control applications. The LCX Series of Draw Wire solutions is manufactured for BEPC/EPC by our German technology partner and offers wire lengths from 1 to 42.5 meters in length.
“The maintenance-free draw wires are particularly quick and easy to install,” says Dave Wilson, National Sales Manager for EPC. “Draw wires are used for motion feedback because of their reliability. Coupled with a BEPC encoder, the highly flexible steel wire of the LCX is an excellent choice for motion control in robotics, extrusion presses, textile machinery, control gate positioning, theatre stages, elevators, gantries, boom cranes, forklift booms, and motion control applications across all industries.”
The LCX is available in 3 housing sizes:
- The LCX80 comes in an 80 mm casing and offers 1, 2, and 3-meter wire length options
- The LCX120 comes in a 120 mm casing and offers a 4 or 5-meter wire length option
- The LCX135 comes in a 135 mm casing and offers wire lengths from 6 m to 42.5 meters
For linear displacement applications that require absolute position data, combine a draw wire with an absolute encoder. With multiturn absolute feedback, your controller knows exactly what the cable position is, at all times and even in the absence of power. Our new Model A58SB easily connects to the LCX draw-wire and offers serial communications with all draw wire length. Apply this assembly in crane towers, overhead gantries, industrial sliding doors – anywhere you require precision position information without the need for re-homing.
The Model A58SB Absolute Encoder offers a high-performance solution for your absolute feedback needs. It provides maintenance-free feedback thanks to its innovative battery-free and gear-free multi-turn technology. Its rugged magnetic technology and high IP rating make the Model A58SB an excellent choice, even in tough industrial environments. Available with two shaft sizes, 6 mm or 10 mm, and two mounting options, the Model A58SB is easily designed for a variety of applications.
