High-precision Incremental Encoder

Product Profile of High-precision Incremental Encoder
SICK - one of the world`s leading producers of sensors and sensor solutions for industrial applications. SICK is a technology and market leader in both Factory Automation and Process Automation. The sick product range includes Incremental Encoder DSK40.

Displacement, position, angle - in industrial automation where positions have to be precisely determined, you simply cannot beat an encoder.

The same applies when determining speed and acceleration. Due to their working principle, the photoelectric scanning of optical code patterns, in linear displacement measurement these sensors have a resolution of micrometers and in angle measurement they have a resolution of a few thousandths of a degree. With less demanding tasks, of course, they cope easily.

Compared to incremental encoders, absolute encoders have one decisive advantage - they do not need a initialising reference -run.
