Fiber optic sensor


Senyd fiber optic photoelectric sensor is a type of sensor that uses fiber optic technology to detect the presence or absence of an object. These sensors work by transmitting light through a fiber optic cable and detecting changes in the amount of light that is received at the other end. When an object is present, it can block or reflect the light, causing a change in the signal received by the sensor. Fiber optic photoelectric sensors are commonly used in industrial automation applications where high accuracy and reliability are required. They are ideal for applications where traditional sensors may not be suitable due to factors such as electromagnetic interference, harsh environments, or the need for long-distance sensing.

Draw-wire Encoder

Draw Wire Sensors are a versatile position measurement device that converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal that may be metered, recorded, or transmitted.

Senyd draw wire sensors consist of a stainless steel displacement cable wound on a threaded drum that is directly coupled to a precision, long-life sensor. Operationally, the sensor is mounted in a fixed position and the extension cable, "draw wire," is attached to a moving object. As movement occurs, the draw wire extracts then later retracts under the power of an internal, engineered spring which also maintains tension on the draw wire throughout its stroke. The rotation of the sensor produces an electrical output proportional to the draw wire's movement giving indication of positional translation.
