High-precision SICK DFS60B-S4WA00050 encoder delivers reliable 50 PPR motion feedback, durable design, and accurate speed control for industrial automation.
The SICK DFS60B-S4WA00050 incremental encoder provides dependable 50-pulse-per-revolution feedback designed for industries that require stable speed and position control. Built with a solid stainless-steel 10 mm shaft and a compact aluminum housing, it withstands harsh operating conditions without compromising accuracy. Its HTL push-pull interface and wide supply voltage range allow easy integration into many control systems. With strong protection against dust, moisture, shock, and vibration, and an operating temperature span from –40 °C to +100 °C, this encoder reliably maintains signal integrity, even in demanding long-term applications.
The DFS60B-S4WA00050 enhances machine performance by delivering stable incremental signals with very low deviation, making it suitable for fast-moving mechanisms and precision feedback tasks. Its 0-SET hardware function helps align the reference position during commissioning, simplifying installation and reducing downtime. The mechanical structure supports high shaft loads and prolonged bearing life, enabling continuous operation in conveyors, automated machinery, rotary actuators, and motor feedback systems. With excellent resistance to electrical noise and mechanical stress, the encoder offers consistent performance, reduces maintenance needs, and provides a reliable foundation for smooth, controlled motion in both high-speed and heavy-duty environments.
The DFS60B-S4WA00050 is chosen when machines need dependable, repeatable, and stable motion feedback without overcomplicating the system. Its rugged shaft design, tight error limits, and broad electrical compatibility make it a “fit-and-forget” encoder that keeps production running smoothly. It delivers reliable pulses even in harsh, vibrating, or temperature-extreme environments, making it ideal for long-term industrial use.
This encoder solves the challenge of maintaining precise speed and position control when equipment operates quickly or under mechanical stress. Without accurate pulses, motors drift, conveyors misalign, and automation loses efficiency. The DFS60B-S4WA00050 ensures consistent measurement signals, preventing timing errors, improving synchronization, and allowing machinery to operate with higher accuracy and fewer unplanned stoppages.

Conveyor systems in modern manufacturing rely on accurate movement to coordinate labeling, sorting, and packaging tasks. When belt speed drifts, the entire workflow becomes misaligned, causing product delays and material waste. By delivering stable pulse feedback, the DFS60B-S4WA00050 helps controllers keep the conveyor moving at the correct pace. Its rugged shaft design withstands belt tension, and the HTL output remains stable even when routed through long cables. These qualities allow the conveyor to stay synchronized with upstream and downstream processes, improving efficiency and minimizing stoppages caused by inconsistent motor behavior.
Rotary indexing tables used in assembly and inspection cells must rotate to precise positions so tools and fixtures align correctly. If the table stops slightly off-target, errors accumulate across the process. The DFS60B-S4WA00050 provides clear incremental steps and a reliable reference pulse, helping the controller locate each position accurately. Its vibration-resistant construction supports machines that accelerate and brake quickly. The encoder’s broad temperature tolerance allows it to operate close to heat-generating equipment without losing accuracy. By supplying consistent rotational feedback, it helps indexing tables achieve repeatable positioning that reduces errors and improves overall assembly quality.
In mixing applications across food production, chemical blending, and material compounding, keeping a consistent rotation speed is essential for achieving uniform results. Mechanical load changes can cause the motor to slow or surge unexpectedly. The DFS60B-S4WA00050 provides real-time pulses that allow the controller to correct speed variations before they affect the mixture. Its robust bearing design handles shock loads common in heavy-duty mixers. Strong immunity to electrical interference helps maintain clean signals next to high-powered drives. With reliable speed feedback, mixers achieve smoother operation and more consistent batch quality.
Cut-to-length machinery requires precise measurement of material travel to ensure each piece is sized correctly. Even a slight measurement error can lead to wasted stock or mismatched product dimensions. When paired with a measuring wheel or drive roller, the DFS60B-S4WA00050 generates pulses that reflect exact movement distance. Its ability to withstand shock and vibration supports machines where cutting heads move rapidly. The reference pulse allows quick recalibration between batches. With dependable feedback, cutting systems maintain accurate lengths at high production speeds, reducing waste and improving throughput.
