Encoder suits simple speed, position control
A
SICK (UK) product story

Apr 1, 2005
Low-cost incremental encoder s ideal for simple speed and position control applications in the printing, packaging and materials handling industries.
The new DKS 40 incremental encoder from Sick|Stegmann has a compact design, which features a robust dust proof construction and protection to IP64.
The encoder is ideal for simple speed and position control applications in the printing, packaging and materials handling industries and offers exceptional quality for a list price of just GBP 75.
The space saving ECO-Line DKS 40 is housed in a solid zinc die casting, which has an external diameter of only 50mm.
By adopting the unique Sick|Stegmann Mini Disc technology, the encoder can resist the high levels of shock and vibration found in industrial machinery applications such as machine tools, textile lines, wood processing machine and packaging equipment.
The DKS 40 features a wide choice of line counts up to 2048 and a variety of interfaces including open collector NPN, TTL/RS 422 and HTL/push-pull output drivers.
The universal connection cable can be routed axially or radially depending on application.
Mounting is by a face flange and the unit has a standard 8 mm solid shaft.
Two supply voltages - 4.5 to 5.5V DC and 10 to 30V DC - are available and maximum operating speed is 6000 rev/min.
Ambient operating temperature range is 0 to 60 deg C.
The encoder has achieved CE and UL approvals and complies with DIN EN 61000-6-2 and DIN EN 61000-6-3 standards for EMC and DIN EN 60068-2-27 for shock resistance.
The new Sick|Stegmann DKS 40 incremental encoder is sure to become popular with customers requiring an ECO-Line device for basic measurements at a very low cost.
