The Linear Cable Encoder (LCE) provides a low-cost alternative for obtaining accurate linear measurements. As opposed to typical rotary shaft style encoders, the LCE has a retractable stainless steel cable, allowing for numerous measuring configurations. Placing the LCE away from harsh environmental conditions, while still providing precise measurements, gives the LCE an outstanding advantage over shaft style encoders. Installation is easy with a variety of cable exit directions, and perfect parallel alignment is no longer necessary. The heart of the LCE is the popular Cube Accu-Coder®, the original cube style encoder. The LCE provides a reliable digital pulse train in either single channel or quadrature format, with resolutions down to 0.002" per cycle. The small overall size, a variety of resolutions, and many different connector types make the versatility of the LCE unbeatable.

Available in wire lengths from one meter to 42.5 meters, the Model LCX Draw Wire is compatible with the following 58 mm shafted encoders with clamping flange: Model A58SB, which offers SSI and CANopen® communication protocols; Model A58SE, which offers EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IP™, or PROFINET® communication protocols; Model 758, a high-performance incremental encoder; and the Model 858S, a stainless steel incremental encoder. Choose the right encoder and wire length for your application.

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation – even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options – including multiple wheel material options – and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static build up, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.

The Model TR2 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance in almost any application. The Model TR2 and features an integrated encoder and spring-loaded torsion arm with a rack-and-pinion gear assembly. Using the rack-and-pinion gear system, encoder readings can be obtained with repeatable positioning, providing excellent accuracy. Racks can be ordered in varying lengths, and with the accessory spacer block, multiple lengths of rack can be joined for easy installation. The spring-loaded torsion arm provides easily adjustable torsion load, giving the Model TR2 all the flexibility and maneuverability of the original Model TR1 Tru-Trac®. It can also be installed in a horizontal, vertical, or upside down position, and the threaded shaft on the Model TR2's pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side, and its durable conductive composite housing material reduces static build up.

The Model TR3 Heavy Duty Tru-Trac® is an integrated heavy duty encoder and spring-loaded measuring wheel assembly all in one, easy-to-use, compact unit. Available in both single and optional dual-wheel format, the Model TR3 is a versatile solution for tracking velocity, position or distance over a wide variety of surfaces in many industrial applications. Its spring-loaded torsion arm provides a simple-to-adjust torsion load, allowing the Model TR3 to be mounted in any orientation, even upside-down. The Model TR3 housing is an all-metal work horse, specifically designed to take on your toughest application environments at operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute.
