5LS050.66-1
The B & R Automation 5LS050.66-1 is a precision measurement module in the 5LS Logic Scanner Cards series designed for high-resolution linear motion feedback. Manufactured by B & R Automation, this incremental linear encoder features a resolution of 0.1 µm and a measuring length of 50 mm. Its primary application is to deliver accurate position feedback in tasks such as fine adjustment mechanisms, inspection stages, and precision tool systems. With an IP67 sealed housing, it ensures reliable operation even in harsh industrial environments.
This encoder offers detailed technical performance with an accuracy class of ±3 µm and a maximum traversing speed of 120 m/min, enabling fast and precise tracking of linear motion. Signal output is provided in noise-immune TTL / RS-422 format, ensuring stable data transmission over long distances. The anodized aluminum housing, combined with a robust M12, 8-pin connector, delivers mechanical durability and vibration resistance. A shock resistance rating of 100 g, 6 ms safeguards internal components against mechanical impacts during both operation and handling.
Additional features include a wide operating temperature range of -10 °C to +70 °C and flexible mounting orientation (horizontal or vertical) for versatile installation. A 3 m output cable length facilitates easy routing across complex machinery, while the 5 V DC supply voltage supports compatibility with standard control systems. The IP67 protection class underscores its resistance to dust and water ingress, enhancing longevity in industrial automation setups. By combining high accuracy, fast response, and rugged construction, the 5LS050.66-1 delivers exceptional reliability and precision in demanding manufacturing and measurement applications.
