Next-generation hollow-shaft encoders

Published:  23 January, 2023

SICK has unveiled its next-generation family of large-bore hollow-shaft incremental encoders, the SICK DGS80. The company says an innovative design concept has opened up versatile integration possibilities for the DGS80 across wide-ranging industrial automation applications, aided by a radically-streamlined specification process and easy installation.

The SICK DGS80 incremental encoder spans a broad range of shaft diameters up to 42mm, all within an extremely compact and rugged IP65-rated 81mm diameter housing. Starting with standard 30mm or 42mm diameter bores, the shaft size can be reduced with a large range of specially-designed insulated collets to ensure a secure connection to the application.

SICK’s new large bore hollow-shaft encoder family therefore gives end-users and machine builders the confidence of universal machine compatibility while stocking minimal inventory.
