The SICK TTK50 Series Encoder is a highly compact linear measurement system engineered for precision, speed and stiffness in demanding linear motor applications. Utilizing advanced magnetic principle technology with the HIPERFACE interface, the system features cutting-edge sensor and evaluation technology with Hall sensors arranged in two parallel tracks. This innovative design corresponds to the magnetic tape's division into incremental and absolute components, enabling the read head to detect the absolute starting position at motor startup and determine all subsequent positions via the incremental track or sine/cosine signals. With a high resolution of 1µm and measuring lengths up to 0.94 meters, the TTK50 delivers reliable absolute position detection for high traverse speeds up to 10m/s, featuring programmable position values for enhanced flexibility through 8-wire cable connection.

The TTK50 Series eliminates the need for reference runs through its absolute location positioning capability, enabling immediate operation and reducing commissioning time. The non-contact, wear-free measurement principle ensures maintenance-free operation with reliable performance even when the magnetic tape experiences condensation. Straightforward system integration via the HIPERFACE interface streamlines installation, while SIL2 and PL d certification enabling integration into safe motion systems for applications requiring functional safety.
