The combination of a complete stainless steel design and a rugged shaft seal make the DBS60 Inox incremental encoder resistant to harsh environmental conditions. Its stainless steel housing is offered with standard IP67 or IP69K (DBS60I-W*) enclosure ratings and has a diameter of only 58 mm, thereby enabling it to be used in challenging applications with limited installation space. The IP69K DBS60I-W* variant with its patented deflector shield, which protects the shaft seal, is an ideal product for applications in washdown environments. With various mechanical and communication interfaces as well as a resolution of up to 5,000 pulses, the DBS60 Inox fulfills customer requirements from many different fields of industry.
