DAYTON, OH – SICK STEGMANN, INC. introduces the DKS 40 Incremental Encoder. With IP64 protection and an external diameter of just 50mm, the DKS 40 features an extremely robust and space-saving design that is resistant to high levels of shock and vibration. This makes it an ideal feedback solution in a variety of space-restricted applications such as machine tools, textile machines, wood processing machines and packaging machines, among others.The heart of the DKS 40 is its innovative Mini-Disc (MiDi) technology. This very small code disc includes a track radius of just 2 mm, permitting integral (full) scanning of the entire code disc and thus eliminating eccentricity errors of the code disk, ball bearings and shaft common to conventional systems.Available options include: Open collector NPN, TTL/RS 422, HTL/push-pull interfaces; Face mount flange with 8x13mm solid shaft; 0.5 m output cable that can be used radially or axially.SICK STEGMANN, INC. is a wholly owned subsidiary of SICK AG in Waldkirch, Germany. SICK|STEGMANN is a world leader in the design and manufacture of incremental, absolute and linear encoders, as well as motor feedback systems.For more information contact: SICK STEGMANN, INC., 7496 Webster Street, Dayton, OH 45413; (800) 811-9110; (937) 454-1956; fax: (937) 454-1955; email: [email protected]; or visit www.stegmann.com.
