SICK DBS50E-S5EJ00600 Incremental Encoder 600 PPR

Solid-shaft incremental encoder

The SICK DBS50E-S5EJ00600 is a solid-shaft incremental encoder with a face-mount flange and a stainless-steel shaft measuring 8 mm by 15.5 mm. It delivers 600 pulses per revolution with a measuring step of 90° electronically and an error limit of ± 54°. The unit weighs 180 g including its 0.5 m universal cable and is built for motion-control tasks that need reliable position feedback.

HTL push-pull interface and short cable

The encoder operates on a 7 V to 30 V supply with an HTL push-pull electrical interface, drawing 50 mA and consuming 0.5 W without load. Its 8-wire cable is only 0.5 m long, so the installer must plan for a nearby junction or extension. Outputs provide reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection, with a reference signal gated at 90° electrically with channels A and B.

Shaft loading speed and voltage checks

Before ordering, verify that your application stays within 30 N axial and 50 N radial shaft loading at the operating speed of 6,000 min⁻¹, with a maximum of 8,000 min⁻¹. Confirm the control system accepts HTL push-pull signals at up to 300 kHz output frequency and can supply 7 V to 30 V. The 0.5 m cable length may require additional wiring in larger cabinets.
