Product Description

SICK DFS60B-S4EL01024 Incremental Encoder – High-Accuracy 1024-Pulse Rotary Feedback

The SICK DFS60B-S4EL01024 incremental encoder is designed for applications that demand stable and precise rotary measurement. It delivers 1024 pulses per revolution, giving machinery dependable speed and position feedback even at high operating speeds. With a solid 10 mm stainless-steel shaft, a rugged aluminum housing, and dual-side environmental protection levels (IP67 housing / IP65 shaft), it operates reliably across a wide temperature span from –40°C to +100°C. Its compact dimensions and built-in universal cable make the encoder easy to integrate into motors, conveyors, and motion systems where accuracy and long service life are critical.

The DFS60B-S4EL01024 provides robust performance in demanding automation tasks. Its HTL push-pull interface, 600 kHz maximum output frequency, and low starting torque allow smooth operation in high-speed machines without signal loss. Features like reverse polarity protection, short-circuit resistance, and a durable bearing rated for billions of revolutions help reduce unexpected downtime. The encoder also withstands strong vibration and shock loads, making it suitable for machinery that runs continuously or experiences dynamic motion. By offering consistent feedback under harsh conditions, it strengthens system reliability and helps maintain stable throughput in industrial environments.

Why DFS60B-S4EL01024?

The DFS60B-S4EL01024 stands out because it delivers exceptional measurement precision while surviving the harsh conditions that typically shorten encoder lifespan. Its stable pulse output, rugged build, and wide temperature tolerance make it a trusted choice for engineers who need accuracy without constant maintenance. It brings reliable feedback to fast-moving, high-duty machinery.

What Problem Does It Solve?

This encoder eliminates inconsistent speed and position feedback—the very issues that cause machine drift, product defects, and downtime. By providing clean, high-resolution pulses even at high speeds and under vibration, it stabilizes motion control systems. It ensures machinery runs smoothly, aligns correctly, and maintains consistent performance across demanding industrial processes.

The Industrial Applications of the DFS60B-S4EL01024

1. Precision Synchronization for High-Speed Packaging Conveyors

Packaging lines must keep products moving in perfect rhythm as they pass through forming, sealing, coding, and inspection stages. When conveyor speeds fluctuate or drift, downstream equipment loses alignment, leading to jams or misapplied labels. The DFS60B-S4EL01024 helps maintain stable motion with its high-resolution pulse output and fast signal response. Its ability to withstand shocks and vibration ensures the pulse train remains clean even when conveyors ramp up or stop abruptly. By giving the control system consistent rotational feedback, the encoder keeps product spacing accurate and supports smooth, uninterrupted packaging flow.

2. Reliable Motion Feedback for Automated Warehouse Shuttle Vehicles

Shuttle carriers in automated storage systems rely on exact wheel rotation data to stop precisely at storage positions. When loads vary or the shuttle accelerates quickly, low-quality encoders struggle to maintain accuracy. The DFS60B-S4EL01024 provides dependable position tracking with its sturdy shaft design, strong environmental protection, and stable incremental signals. These characteristics help the controller measure distance traveled with confidence, reducing overshooting and alignment errors. The encoder’s tolerance for temperature shifts and mechanical vibration allows shuttles to operate consistently across long duty cycles, improving both retrieval speed and system reliability.

3. Closed-Loop Speed Control in Wood Cutting and Metal Processing Machines

Cutting machinery depends on precise rotational feedback to control feed rates and maintain consistent cut lengths. Variations in motor speed can cause rough edges or uneven sections. The DFS60B-S4EL01024 supports these machines by delivering clear, high-frequency pulses that accurately reflect real-time spindle movement. Its robust mechanical structure and high permissible speed rating allow it to handle demanding cutting cycles without losing stability. The index pulse helps tools return to a known reference point, improving repeatability during repetitive cutting tasks. This contributes to higher material yield and a more uniform finished product.

4. Tension and Speed Regulation in Textile Winding Applications

Textile winding relies on steady rotational control to keep yarn tension balanced. Any fluctuation in spool speed can result in loose winding, breakage, or inconsistent fabric texture. The DFS60B-S4EL01024 helps maintain the required uniformity by providing precise incremental signals that reflect even the smallest changes in rotational speed. Its compact size fits easily within winding mechanisms, while its environmental protection prevents dust and fibers from affecting performance. By enabling fine adjustments to motor output, the encoder helps maintain stable tension and improves overall winding efficiency and fabric quality.
