Sick AFS/AFM60 SSI Series Absolute Absolute Encoder, 4096 ppr, SSI Signal, 15mm Shaft / 2125582

OverviewAt a glanceHigh-resolution absolute encoder with up to 30 bits (AFM60) or 18 bits (AFS60) Face mount flange, servo flange, blind hollow shaft or through hollow shaft SSI, SSI + incremental or SSI + sin/cos interface Resolution, offset, etc. can be programmed (depending on the type) Connectivity: M12 or M23 male connector or cable connection Enclosure rating: IP67 (housing), IP65 (shaft) Operating temperature: –40 °C .. +100 °C (depending on the type)Your BenefitThe programmability of the encoder results in reduced storage, high machine availability, and easy installation Precise positioning thanks to high resolutions Large selection of mechanical interfaces and electrical contacting options: suitable for all applications Suitable for applications with limited space (extremely short installation depth of 30 mm) Excellent concentricity properties due to long bearing distance Suitable programming tools are available as accessories for every applicationWith a high resolution of up to 18 bits (AFS60) or up to 30 bits (AFM60) and a large selection of programmable parameters, the AFS60 absolute singleturn encoder and the AFM60 absolute multiturn encoder set new standards when it comes to rotary encoders. The high resolution combined with the high IP protection class enables use in a multitude of industrial applications. Both encoders are equipped with the SSI interface while the AFM60 is also available with the SSI + Incremental and SSI + Sin/Cos combined interfaces. A shaft bearing distance of 30 mm means the AFS60/AFM60 product family has significantly better rotation accuracy than encoders with blocked ball bearings. Yet despite their large bearing distance, the AFS60/AFM60 have a compact design. Programmable variants of the AFS and AFM60 SSI can be programmed via the same PC-based programming tool (PGT-08-S) or the hand-held PGT-10-Pro programming tool.ApplicationsMeasurement of absolute position using one or more revolutions in various machines and systems such as tool machines, packaging systems, wood processing machines, presses, printing machines Shelf assignment Measurement of press stroke with absolute encoder Height adjustment of press stroke Pitch motor control Blade angle monitoring Azimuth motor control Azimuth motor control Speed measurement on the elevator engine Speed and position monitoring of elevator cars with encoders Position determination of high speed gates Heliostat – tracking in concentrated solar power plants Damper positioning at duct system Inlet and outlet damper position at main fans Position of ladle furnace roof during second metallurgy process Roof position detection at vacuum degasser during secondary metallurgy Reactor vessel position detection at Ruhrstahl-Heraeus degasser Inlet and outlet damper position for main fansNoteProduct details cover the whole product family.
