The DBV50 measuring wheel encoder is a measuring wheel system for measuring linear movements. It consists of the DBS50 incremental encoder, an aluminum measuring wheel with a 200 mm diameter and a spring-loaded arm. The maximum resolution is 0.08 mm per pulse. The spring arm has a maximum spring travel of 14 mm, a maximum spring force of 20 N and features a convenient pretension setting for repeatably setting the spring pretension. A spring travel limiter protects the spring from being overloaded. The encoder can be rotated and mounted on both sides of the spring arm; routing of the cable can be adapted to the application. The measuring wheel system can be delivered with numerous electrical interfaces, facilities for connecting and resolutions.
