1056879

Overview

The SICK 1056879 is a DFS60B-TGCA0204 incremental rotary encoder belonging to the DFS60 series. It features an absolute single-turn resolution of 2048 pulses per revolution and utilizes a hollow shaft design with a diameter of 10 mm for direct mounting onto drive shafts. The unit provides three channel outputs (A, B, and Z) in TTL format, ensuring precise position and speed feedback for industrial automation applications. It operates within a standard temperature range and is constructed for durability in demanding mechanical environments.

Feature Summary

• Hollow shaft construction allows direct integration with rotating machinery without additional coupling components
• Incremental output signals provide high-resolution position tracking via A, B, and Z channels
• Robust housing design ensures reliable operation in industrial settings

Applications

• Position feedback in automated conveyor systems
• Speed monitoring in industrial drive units
• Motion control applications requiring incremental data transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches part number 1056879, as the DFS60 series contains numerous variants distinguished by shaft diameter, resolution, and electrical interface. Confirm that the required 10 mm hollow shaft dimension fits the target application. Ensure the host controller supports TTL signal levels compatible with the specified output channels before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 10 mm bore size is required for direct shaft mounting. Choose this variant specifically for its 2048 ppr resolution and TTL output compatibility. Consider alternative DFS60 models if different shaft diameters, higher resolutions, or absolute positioning capabilities are needed for the specific machine architecture.

Part Context

This component is part of the DFS60 programmable incremental encoder family from SICK. This series is engineered for industrial automation, offering modular configurations that allow customization of shaft types, resolutions, and interfaces to suit diverse motion control requirements across various manufacturing sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitution requires matching the 10 mm hollow shaft, 2048 ppr resolution, and TTL output interface. Verify mechanical dimensions and mounting constraints against potential alternatives within the DFS60 series or other SICK incremental encoder lines.
