Robust heavy-duty pull绳 encoder, range up to 50 m
The HGL tension sensor has a wide measurement range of 15 meters. The HGL tension sensor series can be flexibly used for various measurement paths with the aid of guide rollers, even in paths surrounded by obstacles. Moreover, the encoders in this series feature a sturdy housing, dust-proof brushes, and a long service life, making them suitable for harsh environments with high dust, strong impacts, and vibrations.
