Pilz 6Z000002 PSEN enc sincos 4096 hs Encoder

The Pilz 6Z000002 is a PSEN enc sincos 4096 hs safe incremental encoder for position and speed monitoring applications. This encoder delivers 4096 pulses per revolution with a sine-cosine interface for high-precision feedback. The hollow shaft design accepts shafts up to 12 mm diameter with feather key compatibility, enabling direct mounting on motor shafts or driven machine components without requiring additional coupling hardware.

Electrical Specifications

Supply voltage: 24 V DC. Power consumption DC: 0.48 W maximum. The encoder provides sin/cos output signals representing incremental position information with high resolution. The sine-cosine interface enables interpolation for higher effective resolution than the base 4096 pulse per revolution count when used with appropriate evaluation electronics. Electrical connection: M23, 12-pin connector for secure signal transmission in industrial environments.

Mechanical Construction

Housing material: aluminum for durability and heat dissipation. Shaft type: hollow shaft up to 12 mm with feather key compatibility, supporting rigid or semi-flexible mounting arrangements. Height dimension: 90.6 mm. Width dimension: 58 mm. Depth dimension: 61 mm. Net weight: 357 g. Gross weight: 545 g including packaging.

Environmental Ratings

Ambient temperature range: -40°C to +90°C for operation in extreme climate conditions. Ingress protection type: IP65 per EN 60529, providing dust-tight protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets. Maximum relative humidity: 98 percent. Condensation is not permitted, requiring appropriate housing or environmental control in high-humidity installations. Vibration testing per EN 60068-2-6. Shock rating: 100g for mechanical durability.

Safety Functions and Certifications

The encoder supports safety-related differences based on the required safety functions. For velocity-oriented safety functions including speed monitoring, the encoder achieves SIL3, PLe, Category 3 according to ISO 13849-1 and IEC 61508. For positioning-oriented safety functions including position monitoring, the encoder achieves SIL2, PLd, Category 3. These performance levels are achieved when the encoder is used with compatible Pilz safety evaluation devices that support sine-cosine encoder interfaces. Approvals: UL Listed, CE, UKCA, TÜV, EAC.

Applications

The PSEN enc sincos 4096 hs is used for position and speed monitoring in safety-related applications including safe speed limitation on rotating machinery, safe direction detection for conveyor systems, safe standstill monitoring for machine tools, and position verification on automated handling equipment. The hollow shaft design with 12 mm capacity accommodates a variety of motor and machine shaft sizes commonly found in industrial automation.

Installation and Commissioning

Mounting options include solid shaft and hollow shaft configurations. For hollow shaft models, installation requires careful alignment between encoder housing and machine shaft. Feather key compatibility ensures positive torque transmission without slippage. The encoder should be connected using shielded twisted pair cabling to maintain signal integrity for the sine-cosine outputs. The operating manual provides detailed mounting requirements and commissioning procedures for both solid and hollow shaft versions.

Standards Compliance

RoHS directive compliance for restriction of hazardous substances. REACh compliance with no SVHC substances contained. The encoder meets harmonized standards for electrotechnical products in safety applications. WEEE classification under category 5 devices with feed size under 50 cm. ECLASS and ETIM classifications are documented for product cataloging purposes.
