Absolute encoders AFS/AFM60 - SICK

With a high resolution of 18 bits (AFS60 Inox) or 30 bits (AFM60 Inox) and a large selection of programmable parameters, the AFS60 Inox absolute singleturn encoder and the AFM60 Inox absolute multiturn encoder set new standards when it comes to stainless-steel encoders.

The high resolution, the high IP enclosure rating, and the stainless-steel housing enable use in applications under harsh ambient conditions. The encoders are equipped with the SSI interface while the AFM60 Inox is also available with the SSI + Incremental and SSI + Sin/Cos combined interfaces. Both encoders can be programmed using the PC-based programming device PGT-08-S or the hand-held programming device PGT-10-Pro.

Advantages

High resistance to environmental influences due to stainless-steel housing;
IP67 enclosure rating and shaft sealing ring for optimum tightness;
High singleturn resolution up to 18 bits (AFS60 Inox) enables use in applications with demanding requirements for measurement accuracy;
The wide range of mechanical interfaces allows an optimal match between the encoder and the application-specific installation situation;
Simple mounting thanks to compact dimensions, even in confined spaces;
Reduces storage costs and downtimes since customers can program the encoder themselves with programming devices PGT-08-S and PGT-10-Pro.

Industries

Applications with high resistance requirements against aggressive substances such as cleaning agents or salt;
Particularly suitable for use in the food and drink industry, for packaging machines, in medical technology, and in outdoor applications in ports or offshore plants.
