1083950

Overview

The SICK part number 1083950 corresponds to the DFS60B-S4CA2048 incremental encoder. This device is a rotary sensor designed for high-resolution position feedback in industrial automation applications. It features a hollow shaft design with a bore diameter of 19 mm, allowing for cable passage through the center. The encoder utilizes absolute or incremental signal processing depending on the specific configuration variant within the DFS60B series, providing reliable data transmission via standard interfaces such as HTL or TTL. It is engineered for durability in demanding mechanical environments.

Feature Summary

• Hollow shaft construction facilitates direct mounting onto motor shafts and allows internal cable routing.
• Robust metal housing provides protection against mechanical stress and industrial contaminants.
• High-resolution signal output ensures precise position and speed monitoring.
• Compatible with standard mounting flanges and coupling systems for easy integration.

Applications

• Servo motor feedback systems
• Robotics joint positioning
• CNC machine tool axes
• Automated guided vehicle (AGV) drive control

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix code (e.g., -S4CA2048) to confirm resolution and interface type, as part numbers in this series vary by electrical output and mechanical options. Ensure the order includes necessary accessories such as mounting kits or cables if not bundled. Cross-reference the full designation with the official SICK product database to confirm current availability and technical specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a hollow shaft encoder is required for space-constrained installations. Confirm that the operating temperature range and IP rating meet the environmental conditions of the application. Verify compatibility with the controller's input voltage and signal type requirements. Consider the maximum permissible radial and axial loads to ensure mechanical integrity during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the DFS60B series of incremental encoders from SICK. The series is characterized by its compact design and suitability for high-dynamic applications. It is commonly used in conjunction with SICK drives and controllers but remains compatible with third-party systems supporting standard encoder signals. The DFS60B line emphasizes reliability and precision in motion control scenarios.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the mechanical dimensions, shaft type, and electrical interface. Check for equivalent models from other manufacturers offering similar resolution and mounting configurations. Ensure that any substitute part meets the same safety and performance standards required by the original system design.

FAQ

What is the resolution of the DFS60B-S4CA2048?

The '2048' in the part number typically indicates a resolution of 2048 pulses per revolution (ppr) for the incremental output.

Does this encoder support absolute positioning?

The DFS60B series primarily offers incremental outputs. For absolute positioning, verify if the specific variant supports single-turn or multi-turn absolute protocols, though standard DFS60B models are often incremental.

What is the maximum rotational speed?

Maximum speed depends on the specific load and bearing configuration. Consult the detailed datasheet for the rated speed under nominal and maximum load conditions.
