Incremental Encoders are programmable from 1-65,536 ppr.

Press Release Summary:




Series DFS 60 encoders accommodate values from 1-65,536 pulses per revolution (PPR) and, via programming tool, allow users to set zero pulse width to 90°, 180°, or 270° and program electrical interface to either HTL or TTL. They are available in blind hollow shaft, through hollow shaft, and solid shaft models, and feature mechanical design and metal code disc that provide robustness and temperature tolerance. Design also allows 30 mm distance between bearings, minimizing vibration.

Create Custom Resolutions for Any Value from 1 to 65,536 PPR with Programmable DFS60 Incremental Encoders



Can be programmed to specific application requirements in just seconds, and can be re-programmed at any time to satisfy evolving application needs

DAYTON, OH - SICK STEGMANN's DFS 60 Incremental Encoders are now available in fully programmable versions to accommodate any value from 1 to 65,536 pulses per revolution something no other encoder in the market today can claim. With the help of a simple programming tool, users, system integrators and distributors are able to select any number of lines between 1 and 65,536 via their PC or Notebook. They are also able to set the zero pulse width to 90°, 180° or 270° and program the electrical interface to either HTL or TTL.

"DFS60 programmable versions eliminate the need to purchase, stock and prepare machine-oriented line count versions," says Cathy Castle, Marketing Manager. "As a result, warehousing is simplified and made more cost effective, and downtime is minimized due to the immediate availability of an encoder that is quickly and easily programmed to the user's various requirements."

The DFS60 is a universal device for determining angles, positions, speeds and accelerations in automation technology. They are available in blind hollow shaft, through hollow shaft and solid shaft models, and boast a revolutionary mechanical design and a metal code disc for increased robustness and temperature tolerances. Additionally, the new design allows a 30 mm distance between bearings which decreases vibration and increases bearing life.

Lastly, these revolutionary encoders come with an option of a pluggable outlet that can be used as either as radial or axial cable outlet which reduces installation depth and provides simple cable replacement, if needed.

SICK STEGMANN, INC. is a wholly owned subsidiary of SICK AG in Waldkirch, Germany. SICK STEGMANN is a world leader in the design and manufacture of incremental, absolute and linear encoders, as well as motor feedback systems.
