DWP-LNG / Extended travel / project engineering

Long-Range Draw-Wire Transducers

Review 15 m to 100 m cable displacement projects with a defined drum geometry, tension and installation route. For 10 m travel, review DWP-POS or DWP-ENC.

Family ranges are selection envelopes. Output availability, linearity, cable construction, drawings and delivery are confirmed for the quoted configuration.

100 m is a project target requiring feasibility review. IP67 / IP68 and outdoor temperature limits need model-specific test evidence.

BEFORE THE MODEL IS FIXED

Four checks for DWP-LNG integration.

Water gates, gantry cranes, mine equipment and structural displacement require a sensor configuration matched to the actual machine and measurement task.

  1. 01Single-layer drum concept and usable wrap capacity
  2. 02Cable sag, unsupported span and thermal expansion
  3. 03Retraction force, wind exposure and ice / debris management
  4. 04Installation-specific calibration and sealing test conditions
INSTALLATION NOTE / CONTROL THE RETURN

Never release an extended measuring cable.

Hold the cable end and guide retraction throughout installation. Free snapback can injure the installer and damage the cable, drum or sensing element. Keep the cable aligned with the outlet; use a suitable guide pulley for a change of direction.

Stroke, cycle rate, speed, acceleration, cable force and contamination determine service life. Request the specific model instructions and validated limits.

DWP-LNG / QUOTATION + ACCESSORIES

Build the sensing package around your machine.

Request the model drawing, cable exit layout and proposed interface with your quotation. Accessory prices below are indicative planning additions, confirmed in the written quote.

Readout, routing & installation options

Indicative additions for quotation planning. Confirm compatibility and final price with the selected sensor.

Extension joints must stay outside the sensor outlet, wiper and pulley. An extension cable does not increase calibrated stroke. Panel relay outputs require machine-specific control validation.
