SEW DFS56L/TF/RH1M/KK
Product Description
The SEW DFS56L/TF/RH1M/KK is an incremental encoder module designed for industrial motion control applications. It plays a crucial role in accurately measuring the rotational speed, position, and direction of rotating shafts in various industrial machinery.
This encoder module features a compact and robust design, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. It is typically installed directly on the motor shaft or other rotating components. The DFS56L/TF/RH1M/KK uses optical sensing technology to generate electrical pulses as the shaft rotates. These pulses are then used by the control system to determine the speed and position of the shaft.

The module is highly versatile and can be integrated into different types of industrial control systems. It provides reliable and precise feedback, which is essential for achieving accurate motion control. In applications such as conveyor systems, robotics, and machine tools, the SEW DFS56L/TF/RH1M/KK helps in ensuring smooth and efficient operation by enabling the control system to make real – time adjustments based on the measured data.
Product Parameters
- Pulse Count: It has a specific pulse count per revolution, for example, [X] pulses per revolution (common values could range from a few hundred to several thousand, depending on the model’s precision requirements). This pulse count determines the resolution of the encoder, with higher pulse counts providing more accurate position and speed measurements.
- Supply Voltage: Operates on a standard DC voltage, usually in the range of [voltage range], such as 5 VDC to 24 VDC. This wide voltage range allows for compatibility with different power supplies in industrial setups.
- Output Signals:
- It provides multiple output signals, commonly including A, B, and Z phase signals. The A and B phase signals are used to determine the speed and direction of rotation. When the A phase leads the B phase, the shaft is rotating in one direction, and vice versa. The Z phase signal, also known as the index or zero – pulse signal, is used to identify a specific reference position on the shaft.
