(ASM Sensors: Elmhurst, IL) -- ASM Sensors Inc. (ASM) developer, manufacturer, and marketer of electromechanical position sensors for industrial applications, has expanded its POSITAPE line of tape-extension position sensors with the introduction of the WB12 series. The POSITAPE sensor line was  developed to extend sensor life in applications that require pulleys. The new WB12 sensor provides a measuring range of 118 in.

The industrial-grade WB12 is constructed with a custom designed stainless-steel tape that is coiled on a precision drum. With its high degree of flexibility, the measuring tape yields an extended life of the sensor. It is perfectly suited in applications that require pulleys due to the tight locations where the sensor must be installed. Because the tape also has very smooth surfaces, the risk of icing is reduced during cold operating conditions. The integrated tape dust wiper automatically cleans the tape during operation.
