UniMeasure
manufactures a broad line of wire rope actuated linear position sensors
and linear velocity transducers. Often referred to as string pots,
yo-yo pots, draw wire transducers, position sensors and transducers,
or cable extension transducers, the devices have 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 position sensors are
the linear 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 water management.
