SICK DBS60E-BGAC02048 Sensor
SICK DBS60E-BGAC02048 incremental encoder, part 1071417. Through hollow shaft, 2048 pulses per revolution for direct motor feedback.
Overview
The SICK DBS60E-BGAC02048 (part number 1071417) is an incremental rotary encoder of the DBS60E family with a through hollow shaft. With 2048 pulses per revolution per the order code, it provides high-resolution speed and position feedback mounted directly on the motor or machine shaft.
How It Works
The optical scanning system produces incremental pulses as the shaft rotates. The drive controller counts the pulses to compute speed and relative position. The hollow shaft slides over the motor shaft, removing the need for a coupling and simplifying mounting.

Installation and Setup Notes
Slide the encoder over the shaft and fix the torque arm so it can absorb reaction force without preload. Check that the shaft runout is within family limits and that the cable does not rotate with the shaft. Configure the drive counter for 2048 pulses per revolution and verify rotation direction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which shaft diameters fit?
The DBS60E family covers common motor shaft bores; the order code defines the bore of this variant.
Is a coupling needed?
No, the through hollow shaft mounts directly over the motor shaft.
Can it replace a broken OEM encoder?
It is a common retrofit choice where bore size, pulse count and signal type match.
