Additional information

Extension length/measuring range

SIKO wire-actuated encoders achieve the maximum measuring accuracy when the entire wire length (measuring range) is only wound onto the drum in one layer.  On the SG120 the wire diameter is selected so that when the first drum layer is used, a maximum measuring range of 6000 mm is possible.  The larger diameter of the plastic sheathed steel wire and the Paraleine require more space.  The result is a correspondingly shorter measuring range. 

If a lower measuring accuracy is acceptable, two to three layer winding is also possible, and the possible measuring lengths change accordingly.

Hint for mounting

When securing the wire it must be ensured that the wire is straight and vertical in relation to the wire outlet.  Recommendation: Only select the starting position after an unwound length of approx. 5 mm. This prevents the wire hitting the end stop when it is rewound.
