ASM WB61 tape extension sensor

The ASM WB61 tape extension sensor provides up to 4 m measuring length in a compact, industrial housing. ASM tape extension sensors have been designed to operate in harsh conditions, making them a suitable choice for installation on cranes, excavators, forklifts and access platforms.

Due to the design of the sensor and the inherent strength of the stainless steel tape, the WB61 range of sensors can be found in environments and on applications where other traditional pull-wire sensors struggle to survive. The durability of the extension tape allows for the reliable use of directional changing pulleys and also within applications where icing may occur. These features make the sensor also suitable for safety critical control functions within the mobile equipment market.

The sensor housing is manufactured from composite and stainless steel components, and the sensors’ sealing meets the sealing level of IP67/69K. Linearity is ±0.10% and there is a choice of three analog and three digital outputs (SSI, CANopen or CAN J1939).
