5301220

Overview

The SICK part number 5301220 is a component within the KH53 series of non-contact linear encoders. This system utilizes absolute measurement technology based on an inductive scale with permanent magnets to detect position without reference runs. It is designed for heavy-duty applications, supporting measurement lengths up to 1600 meters and maximum moving speeds of 6.6 m/s. The encoder features high repeatability and system resolution, ensuring precise position detection in harsh industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Non-contact absolute length measurement ensures maintenance-free operation and long service life
• High precision and resolution capabilities for accurate position detection
• Robust design suitable for severe environmental conditions and heavy loads

Applications

• Crane systems
• Warehouse logistics
• Conveyor technology
• Rail vehicles

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order quantity matches the required project scope. Confirm compatibility with existing control systems using SSI or PROFIBUS interfaces. Ensure the mounting configuration supports the specified air gap between the readhead and sensor elements. Check for any necessary accessories such as mounting brackets or cables not included in the base unit.

Selection Notes

Select this model when long travel distances exceeding standard rotary encoder limits are required. Consider the KH53 series for applications demanding absolute position data without homing procedures. Evaluate the environmental severity to ensure the non-contact design meets durability requirements. Verify interface compatibility with the central processing unit before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This component belongs to the POMUX KH53 family of linear encoders manufactured by SICK. The series is engineered for industrial automation, providing reliable position feedback for large-scale machinery. It represents a solution for applications where traditional mechanical encoders would fail due to wear or space constraints.
