            Abstract : 
According to the requirement of the design of cable arrangement mechanism on a winch, designs a linear displacement sensor for reed switch arrays, the sensor of which is a passive structure, with a relatively good accuracy in output resistance and, though low in resolution, very good resistance to dust, smear, and electromagnetic interference. This sensor is better cost-effective, and suitable for use in harsh environment.
