High resolution, programmable encoders for demanding applications
The DFS60 is a high-resolution incremental encoder with a diameter of 60 mm. It offers lots of mechanical and electrical interfaces and a housing made from aluminum or stainless steel. You can program the encoder yourself, if you want. A key feature is the range of options for programming the electrical parameters, e.g., the output signal level, the number of pulses per revolution, or the zero pulse width. This makes the DFS60 highly suitable for demanding applications as well. The high enclosure rating, wide temperature range, and wide-set ball bearings ensure a high level of ruggedness and make the DFS60 the ideal encoder for industrial applications with harsh ambient conditions.

DFS60 AT A GLANCE

ADVANTAGES
An array of program options
Resolution, counting direction and zero pulse are only a few examples of settings that the user can program individually with the DFS60. Both the compact PGT-10-Pro hand-held programming device and the PGT-08-S PC-based tool are available for this purpose.

Flexibility is key
The DFS60 offers various electrical and mechanical connection types, providing a high degree of flexibility. Thanks to the plug-in cable connection and broad portfolio of matching adapter cables, the DFS60 incremental encoder can be adapted to fit a wide variety of electrical connection types. The hollow shaft version of the DFS60 can be adapted to different shaft diameters using collets.


Mechanical and electrical flexibility
Various electrical and mechanical connection types make the DFS60 incremental encoder flexible and able to be used in many applications.


Connects anywhere
Plug-in cable connection with cables of various lengths and with different plug connectors offer the user a wide range of connection options.


Flexible adaptation
Different collets allow the shaft diameter to be adapted. In addition to metal collets, plastic inserts can also be used to achieve an insulated shaft connection.

Encoders for rough environments
The DFS60 is suitable for rough environments, and applications with particularly harsh ambient conditions can be handled with DFS60 Inox encoders. The housing, flange, shaft and stator coupling are made entirely of stainless steel (1.4305). DFS60 Inox


The DFS60 incremental encoder with enclosure rating IP65 is resistant to dust and humidity and operates reliably even at temperatures ranging from –40 °C to +100 °C.


The rugged mechanical design, wide temperature range as well as IP 67 enclosure rating make the DFS60 Inox the ideal encoder for applications in harsh ambient conditions.
