DL50-2B215552 SICK Dx50-2 Next Generation Distance Sensor
Brand: SICK | Model: DL50-2B215552 | Series: Dx50-2 | Part Number: 1075272
The DL50-2B215552 belongs to the SICK Dx50-2 next generation. It measures up to 50 m on Diamond Grade reflective tape using HDDM™ time-of-flight. The measuring rate reaches 3 kHz. It offers a dual interface: push-pull switching with IO-Link V1.1 plus a configurable analog output. The zinc die-cast housing carries both IP65 and IP67 ratings. Operating temperature spans -40 °C to +65 °C without an internal heater. Repeatability ranges from ≥ 0.5 mm to 5 mm depending on speed settings.

Oiltech Controls’s Insight
- The Dx50-2 platform adds IO-Link to the proven Dx50 form factor.
- 3 kHz measuring rate suits high-speed loop control and web tension tasks.
- 50 m range on reflective tape reduces sensor count on long travel axes.
- Dual output lets one unit serve both switching and analog feedback loops.
- -40 °C cold start works in unheated outdoor and freezer installations.
- IP67 protects against temporary immersion and heavy wash-down.
- IO-Link V1.1 enables remote parameter backup and swap without tools.
Oiltech Controls Review
- Best pick when you need long range plus fast cycle times.
- IO-Link cuts commissioning time on multi-sensor lines.
- Analog and switching outputs in one body simplify spare part stock.
- Repeatability down to 0.5 mm supports precise positioning.
- Strong replacement path for older Dx50-2 and DL50 units.
Suitable Equipment
- High-bay warehouse stacker cranes
- Elevator and lift positioning systems
- Overhead crane travel and skew control
- Steel coil and plate length measurement
- Automated storage and retrieval machines (AS/RS)
- Legacy Dx50-2 and DL50 sensor mounts
FAQ
Q: Why does the DL50-2B215552 need reflective tape for 50 m range?
A: Long-range time-of-flight needs a strong return signal. Diamond Grade tape reflects the beam back with low loss. Natural targets only reach shorter distances.
Q: Should I use IO-Link or the analog output?
A: Use IO-Link for parameter backup and diagnostics. Use analog 4-20 mA or 0-10 V for direct PLC input without IO-Link masters.
Q: How do I pick the right speed setting?
A: Faster settings raise the measuring rate but reduce repeatability. Slow settings give the best stability for static targets.
Q: What causes unstable readings on long-range targets?
A: Tape contamination, misalignment, or sunlight on the tape can weaken the return signal. Clean the tape and align the beam first.
Q: Can I drop this into an existing Dx50-2 installation?
A: Check the connector pinout and output type first. The M12 5-pin connection and housing size match most Dx50-2 brackets.
