Positape WB17KT series steel tape position sensor

The Positape WB17KT series of stainless steel tape sensors come with measurement ranges of 3,500mm, 6,500mm and 10,000mm. The robust sensor features a very compact housing specifically designed for rugged and harsh environments. Building upon this proven technology, the series replaces the measurement cable with a thin, highly flexible stainless steel band. The WB17KT operates in a similar manner as a tape measure. Due to the smooth surfaces of the tape, the risk of ice build up is reduced and an optional brush is available to wipe off debris from the tape as it is being retracted. The WB17KT series is available with analog 0-10V, 4-20mA or 1kOhm outputs. The sensor also comes with either absolute digital SSI or CAN-Bus outputs. The electrical connection can be made with either a M12 or D8 connector.
