Analog Draw Wire Sensor — 0–8,000 mm, CANopen Option, IP54
The AWP 508 is a draw wire position transducer providing analog position feedback over strokes up to 8,000 mm. Like others in the AWP family, it converts linear wire travel into a proportional electrical signal. CANopen output is available for fieldbus integration. The IP54 housing (optional IP67) suits industrial environments.
Strokes up to 8,000 mm — covers long-range position feedback in a single unit
Multiple output types — potentiometric, 0–10 VDC voltage, 4–20 mA current, and CANopen
±0.5% FS linearity — reliable accuracy across the full measurement range
IP54 standard, IP67 optional — suited to wet and dusty environments
Stainless steel wire — corrosion resistant, high tensile strength
CANopen fieldbus option — direct integration into industrial networks
