1.Preparation
Select the Appropriate Linear Wire Displacement Sensor: Choose the suitable Linear Wire Displacement Sensor based on your measurement requirements, including measurement range, accuracy, and output signal type (digital or analog, or dual output). If you have any doubts about the selection, you can contact our customer service on the right side to help you choose the model.
Check the Status of the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor: After receiving the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor, confirm that the appearance is undamaged, all components are securely connected, and the steel wire rope is free from wear or breakage. Briterencoder Linear Wire Displacement Sensors undergo rigorous quality inspections before leaving the factory to ensure that only qualified products reach you.
2.Installation of the Sensor
Fix the Mounting Bracket:Secure the mounting bracket at the location where the measurement is needed, ensuring the bracket is stable and does not wobble. We offer specially customized mounting brackets that are sturdy and do not loosen.
Install the Sensor: Fix the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor to the mounting bracket through the installation holes, paying attention to adjusting the installation angle of the sensor to align it with the measurement direction.
3.Connecting the Steel Wire Rope
Pull Out the Steel Wire Rope: Slowly pull out the steel wire rope from the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor until it reaches the required measurement length. During the pulling process, try to keep the steel wire rope and the exit port from rubbing against each other, and ensure that the pulling direction of the steel wire rope is parallel to the side of the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor. Briterencoder Linear Wire Displacement Sensors can be installed with a maximum deviation angle of up to 15 degrees and use a 0.8mm thick imported soft stainless steel rope with a nylon coating, which has low friction and high wear resistance. The special pull head fixing method provides a tensile limit force that is ten times higher than that of competitors. The exit port is made of ceramic material, which is a wear-resistant material that can extend the life of the steel rope.
Fix the Steel Wire Rope: After reaching the measurement position, fix the steel wire rope at the measurement point. We offer both internal and external thread pull heads to support various installation methods.
4.Adjustment and Calibration
Adjust the Installation Position: Adjust the position of the mounting bracket and the exit port to ensure that the minimum stroke measurement point, the maximum stroke measurement point, and the sensor side are aligned and the parallelism error is within the specified value.
Calibrate the Sensor: Follow the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor manual for calibration to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. For RS485, RS232, and CAN communication, we provide self-developed PC software for debugging. Our PC software allows for quick changes to various parameters and adjustments of the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor.
5.Usage and Maintenance
Use the Sensor: During the measurement process, adjust the length of the steel wire rope as needed and read the position information output by the sensor. For Briterencoder analog output Linear Wire Displacement Sensors, we can freely and quickly set the range according to the usage requirements.
Regular Maintenance:Regularly check the installation status of the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor, whether the mechanical device is jammed, and whether the cables and signal lines are damaged. Clean the sensor’s interior and any dirt on the steel rope to ensure the sensor’s normal operation.
Precautions
Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the measurement range of the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor to avoid damaging the sensor.
Pay Attention to the Pulling Speed: The maximum pulling speed of the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor is 1m/s. Do not exceed this speed to avoid internal wiring confusion in the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor.
Correct Wiring: When wiring, ensure that the power is turned off to avoid incorrect wiring that could damage the Linear Wire Displacement Sensor.
Avoid Vibration: Try to avoid using the sensor in a high-vibration environment to prevent affecting the measurement accuracy.
Storage Environment: Regular Linear Wire Displacement Sensors should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and non-corrosive environment to avoid long-term moisture or corrosion. If you need to use the sensor in a wet, underwater, or special environment, you can choose Briterencoder’s IP68 waterproof Linear Wire Displacement Sensor. Our IP68 waterproof Linear Wire Displacement Sensor has a high IP protection rating and has passed the IP68 waterproof test by a national testing institution, capable of withstanding the impact of harsh environments on the sensor, ensuring measurement accuracy and data stability. We also offer explosion-proof Linear Wire Displacement Sensors.
