A customized replacement solution can be provided for systems originally configured with SL02/GS80, with the objective of maintaining the same linear measurement principle and mechanical installation concept. The replacement is engineered to match the original mounting interface and cable routing arrangement, allowing direct integration without changes to the surrounding structure or encoder signal processing.
From a technical standpoint, the replacement unit adopts a spring-loaded cable extension mechanism designed for short-stroke linear measurement. The effective measuring range is aligned with the original SL02 specification, ensuring accurate and repeatable conversion of linear displacement into rotational output for incremental or absolute encoders. Controlled cable tension and defined drum geometry support stable measurement behavior with low hysteresis, even under frequent start-stop conditions. The GS80 mechanical housing provides a compact form factor, making the unit suitable for installations where space is limited while still offering sufficient structural rigidity for industrial operation. Key mechanical parameters such as allowable cable exit angle, operating speed, and service life are configured to meet typical automation requirements.


In conclusion, the SL02/GS80 customized replacement solution offers a mechanically consistent and reliable option for linear position measurement in compact automation equipment, lifting mechanisms, and positioning systems where short travel ranges and stable encoder feedback are required.
