SICK STEGMANN’s DFS 60 Incremental Encoders are now available in blind hollow shaft versions.

Pw 7417 Websickstegmann
These encoders are designed to significantly reduce the potential for contamination by dust, dirt or water, making them well suited for use in dirty or dusty environments with water wash-down cleansing. DFS60 blind hollow shaft encoders deliver from 1 to 65,536 ppr. They also offer reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -20 up to 100°C. DFS 60 encoders provide a unique nickel code disc that delivers strong and reliable operation. A radial/axial cable outlet reduces installation depth and allows a single encoder type to be used for various applications. An integrated stator coupling is housed in spring steel to increase bearing life, allow error free angle measurement, and allow users to adjust the shaft and axial movement of the motor shaft. They are available with a TTL or HTL interface.
