The DBV50 measuring wheel encoder is a measuring wheel system for measuring linear movements. It consists of the DBS50 incremental encoder, an aluminium measuring wheel with a 200 mm diameter and a spring-loaded arm. The maximum resolution is 0.08 mm per pulse. The spring arm has a maximum spring travel of 14 mm, a maximum spring force of 20 N and features a convenient pretension setting for repeatable setting the spring pretension.

A spring travel limiter protects the spring from being overloaded. The encoder can be rotated and mounted on both sides of the spring arm

Axis distance: 63.5 mm
Measuring wheel circumference: 200 mm
Resolution: 0.08 mm per pulse, 12.5 pulses per mm
Max. spring travel: 14 mm, mechanically limited, max. spring force: 21 N
Encoder rotation in 30° increments
The encoder can be mounted on both spring arm sides, wheel support from top and bottom
Adjustable spring pretension

Compact, space-saving measuring wheel system with low installation depth
Large spring travel and high press-on force to compensate for unevenness in the surface being measured
Easy and repeatable setting of the spring pretension
Prevents system failures by limiting the spring travel to protect the spring from being overloaded
Highly adaptable to various applications thanks to a variety of options for mounting the encoder on the spring arm
Reliable operation thanks to the reliable encoder with a high radial load
Numerous electrical interfaces, facilities for connecting and resolutions
