The SICK DBV50 Series Encoder is a compact measuring wheel encoder with a high radial load designed for measuring linear movements. This unit consists of a DBS50 incremental encoder, a spring-loaded arm, and an optional 200mm aluminum measuring wheel. The encoder has a maximum resolution of 0.08mm per pulse with up to 12.5 pulses per mm. The supply voltage of the DBV50 ranges between 4.5 to 30V. It is ideal for measuring position, speed, and distance in applications with linear movements in storage logistics and mechanical engineering.

The DBV50 series spring arm has a maximum spring travel of 14mm, a maximum spring force of 20N, and a convenient pretension setting. This feature allows for a simple and repeatable setting of the spring pretension. The large spring travel and high press-on force compensate for unevenness in the surface being measured. It also has a spring travel limiter to protect the spring from being overloaded, thus preventing system failures.

The DBV50 series is highly adaptable to various applications. The encoder can be rotated and mounted on both sides of the spring arm and the cable routing can be adapted to the application. This measuring wheel system can be delivered with numerous electrical interfaces, connections, and resolutions.
