Which applications is the WIRE-DRAW-LINEAR-SCALE series suitable for?

The right WIRE-DRAW-LINEAR-SCALE series use case depends on switching voltage, continuous current, inrush current, coil supply, mounting orientation and environmental conditions. For critical projects, verify the model-table datasheet ratings against your actual load profile.

What should I check first when selecting a WIRE-DRAW-LINEAR-SCALE model?

Start with system voltage and continuous current; then check break capacity, inrush rating, coil voltage, auxiliary contact needs and datasheet temperature limits. The configurator builds the order code according to the manufacturer code structure.

Do datasheet ratings and configurator codes refer to the same product?

Yes. The series table shows technical limits; the configurator turns coil, contact, terminal and option selections within the same model family into an order code. For quotation, send both the generated code and your application note.

Do you provide technical support and cross-reference checks for this series?

Yes. Share your existing part number, operating voltage, load type and environmental conditions, and we can review technically suitable alternatives within the same series or adjacent product families.

What information should I send for a quotation?

The generated part number, quantity, target delivery date, application type, system voltage/current and any datasheet revision are enough. The RFQ cart helps collect these details in one request.

Will this information appear the same after publishing?

Yes. The FAQ and related-insights blocks are part of the application code and appear with the same design on the published site.

MTL Wire-Draw Linear Scale

Long-stroke measurement without guide rails — wire-draw linear scales

The Wire-Draw Linear Scale family measures linear position by spooling a cable attached to the moving structure — no guide rails or precision alignment needed. MLA-17 (60 mm) and MLA-42 (2,000 / 4,000 mm) absolute models retain position through power loss; MLS-12 (250 mm) → MLS-50 (1,500 mm) incremental models offer high repeatability. With resolution down to 0.059 mm, they are ideal for hydraulic cylinder stroke monitoring, automatic door position, pick-and-place equipment, elevators and large-scale press applications. The compact return-spring housing fits even into tight spaces.
