The PKS Wire Draw Encoder measures linear position or distance information for paths up to 5 m with a resolution of 0.05 mm at speeds up to 3.5 m/sec. The PKS measures linear position or distance information for paths up to 5 m with a resolution of 0.05 mm at speeds up to 3.5 m/sec. Repeatability is ±3 measuring steps. An integrated incremental encoder reduces the overall size of the unit and produces an output that is TTL compatible.
