The SICK DRS60-E4K00500 is a high-precision incremental rotary encoder from SICK's DRS60 series, designed for demanding industrial applications. With a 60 mm housing and solid shaft design, it offers mechanical durability and easy integration into various systems. The encoder provides incremental output signals (A, B, and reference pulse Z), ensuring accurate rotational feedback. It features a zero-pulse teach function, allowing for easy alignment of the reference signal.
