Product Description
Speed switch 6DK20
The 6DK20 is a robust and reliable electronic speed switch manufactured by Johannes Hübner Giessen, a leader in encoder and drive technology. This device is engineered for precise monitoring of overspeed, underspeed, and standstill conditions in a wide range of industrial applications, including cranes, conveyors, turbines, and other heavy-duty machinery. It processes input signals from incremental encoders or proximity sensors to trigger its relay outputs when pre-set speed thresholds are crossed, ensuring operational safety and process control. Designed for easy integration, the 6DK20 is typically housed in a compact enclosure suitable for DIN rail mounting within a control cabinet.
Technical Specifications:
- Input Signal: Compatible with incremental encoders (HTL/TTL) and proximity sensors (pnp/npn)
- Switching Functions: Monitors overspeed, underspeed, and standstill with up to 4 programmable switching ranges
- Output: Potential-free relay changeover contacts for each switching range
- Frequency Range: Typically 0.1 Hz to 20 kHz
- Mounting: Standard DIN rail mounting (EN 50022)
- Configuration: Adjustable parameters via front panel for easy setup and commissioning
