INTRODUCTION
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH is a manufacturer of high quality draw wire position sensors SX50
for industrial use. Due to its small overall size, its short assembly time and its possible customisation,
the SX sensor technology is a cost-effective and flexible solution for a wide range of industrial
applications. The dynamics of the draw wire transducer allows a high motion speed and measuring rope
acceleration of the measuring target. Its rugged design and high quality makes applications in
harsh industrial environments possible. Special instruments are available with mounting service
of encoder on site, as well as customised versions of housing. rope capstan tension spring
Sensor principle:
The key component of a draw wire sensor is a highly flexible steel wire rope, that is winded single- rotating shaft
layered on an ultra-light capstan. This capstan is connected to the sensor housing by a pre-
stressed spring. The end of the steel wire rope, that is equipped with a rope clip gets connected sensor
element
to the target object. As soon as the distance between sensor and target object changes, the steel
wire rope gets pulled out of the sensor and is rolled off the capstan (or vice versa). The shaft of the
capstan is connected to a potentiometer (for analog output signals), or to an encoder (for digital
output signals). If there is a rotation of the capstan due to a change in the distance to the target
object, the sensor element will turn proportionally. This way the potentiometer, or the encoder
converts a linear movement into a proportional electrical signal. If a standard analog output
signal, like 0...10 V or 4...20 mA is needed, the sensor is equipped with additional electronics. electronics:

WARNING NOTICES
• Don’t let the rope snap back. If the rope is retracted freely, this may lead to injuries (whiplash effect) and the device may be damaged. Caution
when unhooking and retracting the rope into the sensor.
• Never exceed the specified measurement range when extracting the rope!
• Do not try to open the device. The stored energy of the spring drive may lead to injuries when being mishandled.
• Do not touch the rope when operating the sensor.
• Avoid guiding the rope over edges or corners. Use a deflection pulley instead.
• Do not operate the sensor if the rope is buckled or damaged. A ripping of the rope may lead to injuries or a damaging of the sensor.

Protection class IP67 IP67 Use option IP67, if the sensor will operate in a humid environment. Note that with this option there
may occur a light hysteresis in the output signal due to the special sealing. The max. acceleration and
displacement speed are reduced to 80 % of the specified value.
Corrosion protection CP Includes a V4A wire rope, stainless steel bearings and option M4. The sensors rope drum gets
HARTCOAT® coated. This coating is a hard-anodic oxidation that protects the sensor from corrosion
by aggressive media (e. g. sea water) with a hard ceramics-like layer.
Increased corrosion protection ICP Components of the housing and the rope drum get HARTCOAT® coated.
(analog output only) Includes the options CP, IP67 and M4.
Increased temperature range High T120 Sensors with potentiometer output (1R) and cable output can be operated from -20 to +120 °C when
(potentiometer 1R only) this option is used. (NOT in combination with voltage-, current- or digital output signals)
Increased temperature range Low T40 Special components and a low temperature grease make a working temperature down to -40 °C (up
(analog output only) to +85°C) possible.

GENERAL ACCESSORIES
Deflection pulley - UR2 Ø 44
The rope must be extracted from the sensor vertically. The maximum variation from the
vertical is 3°. A deflection pulley allows a change in the direction of the wire rope. Several
pulleys may be used. The rope clip must not be guided over the deflection pulley.

Rope extension - SV
For bridging a greater distance between the measuring target and the sensor a rope extension can be applied. The rope clip must not be guided
over the deflection pulley.
Please specify the length needed in your order (XXXX). The minimum length is 150 mm:
Länge/ length [mm]
SV1-XXXX: rope extension (150...4995 mm)
SV2-XXXX: rope extension (5000...19995 mm)
SV3-XXXX: rope extension (20000...40000 mm)
Magnetic clamp - MGG1
Use the magnetic clamp to quickly attach the rope to metallic objects without any assembly time. A rubber
coating provides gentle contact (e. g. on varnished surfaces) and prevents from slipping due to vibration.
The magnet consists of a neodym core for an increased adhesive force of 260 N. The hook makes it easy to
attach the rope clip.
