Draw-wire sensors in the wireSENSOR series provide near-linear measurements across the full measuring range and are used for distance and position measurements of 50 mm to 50,000 mm.
Draw-wire sensors from Micro-Epsilon are especially well-suited for direct integration as well as later installation in serial OEM applications, such as medical devices, conveyors, lifts, and automotive engineering systems.
Compact, Robust Design
Various sensor series address a wide range of measurement tasks across multiple industries. The wireSENSOR MK series is cost-effective and well-suited for integration into limited installation spaces due to its miniaturized design. The wireSENSOR P series is highly durable and intended for applications requiring large measuring ranges.

Reliable Operation and Long Service Life
Draw-wire displacement sensors detect linear motion using a highly flexible steel cable. The cable drum connects to a sensing element that generates an output signal proportional to the displacement.
Measurements are carried out with high precision and fast dynamic response. The use of high-quality components ensures a longer service life and reliable operation.
