Product Description

SICK DFS60B-TDEK00512 Incremental Encoder – 512 PPR Hollow Shaft Precision Feedback

The SICK DFS60B-TDEK00512 incremental encoder is a heavy-duty 60 mm hollow-shaft encoder engineered for accurate speed and position feedback in industrial motion control systems. With 512 pulses per revolution, HTL push-pull signal output, and a compact through-hollow-shaft design, it addresses the need for reliable rotational feedback where installation space and signal stability are critical. Its rugged construction, IP65 protection, and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for continuous operation in harsh environments, supporting machinery that demands consistent and repeatable motion data.

Designed for long-term industrial use, the DFS60B-TDEK00512 delivers stable encoder signals even under vibration, shock, and temperature stress. The hollow shaft simplifies mechanical integration and reduces alignment effort, while the push-pull output ensures strong, interference-resistant signals for controllers and drives. High permissible speeds and long bearing life support fast-moving equipment without sacrificing accuracy. These characteristics make the encoder well-suited for conveyors, packaging lines, electric motors, and automated production systems where dependable motion feedback directly improves uptime, product quality, and overall machine efficiency.

Why choose SICK DFS60B-TDEK00512?

The SICK DFS60B-TDEK00512 stands out for applications that demand dependable motion feedback without mechanical complexity. Its hollow-shaft design enables fast, accurate mounting directly onto drive shafts, while the 512-pulse resolution delivers a balanced mix of precision and processing efficiency. Built for harsh industrial conditions, it maintains stable signal quality under vibration, temperature fluctuations, and continuous operation—making it a confident choice for machine builders focused on long-term reliability.

What problem does it solve?

In many machines, inconsistent speed or position feedback leads to control errors, product defects, and unexpected downtime. The DFS60B-TDEK00512 solves this by providing clean, repeatable incremental signals that controllers can trust, even at high speeds. It eliminates alignment issues common with solid-shaft encoders and reduces signal instability in electrically noisy environments, ensuring smoother motion control, higher process accuracy, and improved overall equipment performance.

The Applications

1. High-Speed Conveyor Synchronization in Automated Warehouses

In automated warehouse systems, multiple conveyor sections must run in precise coordination to prevent product overlap and routing errors. The DFS60B-TDEK00512 incremental encoder is mounted directly onto the conveyor drive shaft using its hollow-shaft design, reducing mechanical play and simplifying alignment. Its 512 PPR resolution delivers stable speed feedback that allows controllers to balance accuracy and processing load. The push-pull output maintains signal integrity over long distances, while vibration-resistant construction supports continuous operation. As a result, warehouse operators achieve smoother material flow, higher throughput, and fewer interruptions caused by speed mismatches.

2. Motor Speed Feedback for Packaging and Filling Machines

Packaging and filling equipment requires consistent motor speed control to ensure accurate filling volumes, sealing timing, and label placement. The DFS60B-TDEK00512 provides real-time rotational feedback directly from the motor shaft, allowing drives to react quickly to load changes. Its high permissible speed supports rapid machine cycles, while the sealed housing protects against dust and moisture common in production areas. Reliable incremental signals help stabilize acceleration and deceleration phases, reducing product waste and mechanical stress. This leads to improved process consistency and higher output quality in demanding packaging operations.

3. Position Feedback in Industrial Lifting and Hoisting Systems

Industrial lifting systems such as hoists and automated storage lifts depend on precise position monitoring to move loads safely and repeatably. Installed on gearbox or drum shafts, the DFS60B-TDEK00512 tracks rotational movement to calculate lift position and travel distance. The reference signal enables repeatable homing after power interruptions, while the robust mechanical design withstands shock and sudden load changes. By delivering dependable feedback during frequent start-stop cycles, the encoder supports smoother lifting motions, reduced wear on mechanical components, and improved operational safety.

4. Motion Control Feedback in Automated Assembly Lines

Automated assembly lines often involve multiple rotating elements that must stay synchronized for accurate part placement. The DFS60B-TDEK00512 is used on rollers, indexing tables, and auxiliary drives to provide consistent speed and position information. Its moderate resolution offers a practical balance between control accuracy and fast system response. The wide temperature tolerance allows reliable operation near motors and other heat-generating equipment. With stable feedback signals, manufacturers can maintain repeatable assembly processes, minimize alignment errors, and achieve consistent product quality across high-volume production lines.
