SICK DFS60A-S4AM65536 Incremental Rotary Encoder

Description

SICK DFS60A-S4AM65536 Incremental Rotary Encoder

Product Dimensions：

The SICK DFS60A-S4AM65536 is a high-resolution, programmable incremental encoder designed for demanding industrial environments. As part of the DFS60 product family, it offers exceptional flexibility and precision for motion control applications.

Product Overview

This specific model belongs to the Advanced series of DFS60 encoders. It features a solid shaft with a face mount flange and utilizes a TTL / RS-422 interface. The “65536” in the part number indicates its maximum resolution capability (16-bit), providing incredibly fine feedback for positioning tasks.

Technical Specifications

Key Advantages

• High Versatility: Being programmable, users can set the pulse count, zero pulse width, and electrical interface (TTL/HTL) via the SICK programming tool (PGT-08-S).

• Rugged Durability: Designed with a high IP rating and wide temperature range, it excels in harsh environments where dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations are common.

• Precision Performance: With 65,536 pulses per revolution, it provides high-resolution feedback, ensuring smooth motor control and accurate positioning.

• Compact Design: Despite its high performance, its small footprint allows for easy integration into tight mechanical spaces.

Product Applications

The DFS60A series is widely used across various industries for speed and position sensing:

• Logistics and Conveyors: Precise tracking of goods on sorting lines.

• Packaging Machinery: Synchronizing multi-axis movements for high-speed packing.

• Textile Industry: Monitoring yarn tension and roller speeds.

• Metalworking: Controlling the feed rate and position of CNC machinery.

• Printing Presses: Ensuring color registration through ultra-precise speed regulation.

Important Considerations (Usage Notes)

1. Programming Tool: To change the factory default settings (like pulse count), you will need the SICK PGT-08-S or PGT-10-Pro programming unit.

2. Shaft Coupling: Always use a flexible coupling to connect the encoder shaft to the drive shaft. Direct rigid coupling can lead to bearing failure due to misalignment.

3. Electrical Interference: Ensure the encoder cable is shielded and kept away from high-voltage power lines to prevent signal noise/interference.

4. Connector Orientation: The M12 connector is radial; ensure there is enough clearance in your machine design for the cable bend radius.
