SICK DBS60E-S1AK02000 DBS60 Encoder
Description
DBS60E-S1AK02000, part no. 1069716, is a SICK DBS60 rotary encoder for drive, conveyor and machine positioning applications. The catalogue summary lists: mechanical design: Solid shaft Servo flange 6 mm x 10 mm (With flat); communication interface: 4.5 V … 5.5 V, TTL, RS-422; connection type: Cable, 8-wire, universal, 1.5 m; pulses per revolution: 2,000; flange type / stator coupling: Flange with 3 x M3 and 3 x M4.
Understanding the DBS60E-S1AK02000 before you specify it
Incremental types output pulse trains that the control counts, so position is lost at power-down unless a reference is found again; absolute types output a unique code for every shaft angle and keep their position through a power cycle. Mechanical fit matters as much as electrical fit.
Reference or index pulses give an incremental system a home position per revolution, which a homing routine uses after power-up. Absolute encoders remove the need for homing after power failure, which matters on axes that cannot be driven back to a reference safely.

Ordering DBS60E-S1AK02000: type code, part number and fit
Derived from the listed resolution: 2000 pulses per revolution give one pulse per 0.18 degrees of shaft rotation per channel, and counting all four edges of the two quadrature channels gives 8000 counts per revolution; at the listed maximum speed of 6000 rpm the signal frequency is about 200000 Hz per channel. These are derived values for orientation.
For the control cabinet and the cable run, the relevant figures are connection: cable, 8-wire, universal, 1.5 m; interface: Incremental; supply: 4.5 … 5.5 V; current: ≤ 50 mA (without load); frequency: + 300 kHz; resolution: 2,000.
For the mounting location, note operating temperature of –20 °C … +85 °C; housing of Aluminum; shock of 250 g, 3 ms (EN 60068-2-27); storage temperature of –40 °C … +100 °C, without package; weight of + 0.3 kg; enclosure rating of IP67, housing side (IEC 60529); IP65, shaft side (IEC 60529).
Check operating temperature and the enclosure rating on the shaft side against the environment.
Commission with the machine at standstill first and confirm the counting direction before running at speed.

About brand
SICK is the German maker of industrial sensors: photoelectric and proximity sensors, safety laser scanners and light curtains, encoders, distance sensors, code readers and gas analysers. Erwin Sick, an optics engineer, founded it in Munich in 1946, and in 1952 it introduced its first marketable accident-prevention light curtain, which protected press operators by stopping the machine when a hand broke the light beam. The company moved to Waldkirch in the Black Forest in 1956 and is still headquartered there. It is a privately held company, and has been an Aktiengesellschaft (AG) since 1996.

Choosing a SICK sensor
For object detection, the sensing principle comes first. A retro-reflective sensor (WL series) sends light to a reflector and switches when an object breaks the beam; it is reliable over long distances and easy to align. A sensor with background suppression (WTB series) detects an object at a set distance and ignores what is behind it, which suits conveyors with shiny or dark backgrounds. A through-beam pair (WS/WE) gives the longest range and the highest reliability in dust. For transparent bottles and film, use a model built for transparent objects (for example WL12G-3B or WL150-P420). The digits in the code also matter: "P" usually means a PNP output and "N" NPN, and the last digits set the connector or cable. For machine guarding, a safety laser scanner such as nanoScan3 or microScan3 protects an area, while a safety controller such as Flexi Soft combines several safety devices.
Where SICK products are used
In Oman and the GCC, SICK sensors are used in packaging and bottling lines, food and beverage plants, logistics and airport baggage handling, cement and steel plants, ports and cranes, automated warehouses, and on machines built by European OEMs. SICK safety scanners guard robots and automated guided vehicles, and its encoders give position feedback on motors, hoists and conveyors.

Ordering SICK products: what we need
Send the type code and the 7-digit SICK part number from the label (for example WTB12-3P2431 together with its part number). For a replacement sensor, add the output (PNP or NPN), connection (M8, M12 or cable) and sensing distance. For encoders, add the interface (incremental, SSI, PROFIBUS, PROFINET), resolution and shaft type. For safety scanners, tell us the model and whether the existing configuration needs to be kept.
