We used a similar set up on a pan positioning machine in the bread making
business.
The pully was hollow with a central shaft, it had a spring wound up inside of
it, and the outside of the pully had flanges on both sides, the cable, very
thin aircraft cable was wound around the outside, It turned a 10 turn pot.,
it was fastened to the center shaft of the pully. And according to the
software we were reading .001 inch. The software also set the start point
and the end point for measuring. I can probably find out more if desired,
the unit was less than 2" square. The travel was about 6-7 feet
