SICK KHK53-PXF00054 Linear Absolute DP Encoder

The SICK KH53-PXF00054 is a non-contact, magnetic linear absolute encoder from SICK’s KH53 family (POMUX) that delivers true absolute position over long strokes. Configured as a system part consisting of a read head, it communicates via the PROFIBUS DP fieldbus for direct integration into automated equipment. It operates from a 10–32 V DC supply and covers a measuring range up to 54 meters with a resolution of 0.1 mm and a repeatability of 1 mm, making it suitable for high-precision linear position sensing on production lines, machine tools, and automated transfer systems. The POMUX design reads a magnetically encoded scale with a non-contact sensor head, enabling robust operation in dirty environments where contact-based encoders may wear. Typical applications include precise length measurement, position feedback for linear axes, and hard-stamped limit or reference positioning in automated manufacturing and material handling. The KH53-PXF00054 variant is identified by the part number 1036167 and is intended for DP-based integration where a compact read head and reliable absolute positioning are required.
