A pre-stretched stainless steel wire simply connects to the moving part on the machine. As the wire extends a spring loaded drum rotates which has either a display, potentiometer, incremental or absolute encoder connected to it. This signal can then be used to measure position or speed. A device designed to be used in situations where other types of linear transducers cannot be applied and where mechanical errors such as backlash must be eliminated.
