Sick DFS60 Series Incremental Incremental Encoder, 500ppr ppr, HTL/Push Pull Signal, Through Hollow Type, 12mm Shaft

The DFS60 is a high-resolution incremental encoder with a diameter of 60 mm. It offers lots of mechanical and electrical interfaces and a housing made from aluminium or stainless steel. You can program the encoder yourself, if you want. A key feature is the range of options for programming the electrical parameters, e.g., the output signal level, the number of pulses per revolution, or the zero pulse width. This makes the DFS60 highly suitable for demanding applications as well.

The high enclosure rating, wide temperature range, and wide-set ball bearings ensure a high level of ruggedness and make the DFS60 the ideal encoder for industrial applications with harsh ambient conditions.

Pulses per revolution: Up to 65,536 (16 bit)
Housing diameter: 60 mm
Solid shaft, blind hollow shaft, through hollow shaft
Enclosure rating: IP65/IP67
Communication interfaces: TTL RS 422, HTL Push Pull, Sin/Cos

The programmability of the encoder results in reduced storage, high machine availability, and easy and fast installation
Flexible adaptation to the application-specific installation situation
High resolution up to 16 bits allows applications with demanding requirements on measurement accuracy
The stainless-steel housing offers high resistance to environmental influences
Long-term and reliable operation thanks to a high enclosure rating, temperature resistance and bearing lifetime
Excellent concentricity even at high speeds
Simple mounting thanks to compact dimensions, when the installation space is limited

Measurement of position, speed and displacement in factory and logistics automation, e.g., in the food and beverages industry,
medical technology, wood processing, in outdoor applications at ports or offshore plants, printing machines, textile machines and
packaging machines
