SICK AFM60 Series Absolute Absolute Encoder 30V, Profinet Signal, Blind Hollow Type, 10 mm Shaft

SICK AFM60 Series Absolute Encoder, PROFINET Interface, 10mm Shaft Diameter - AFM60A-BDNB018X12 / 1059035

This absolute encoder provides position feedback for industrial automation using a networked PROFINET connection. Designed for rotary measurement tasks, it operates across a wide temperature range and is suited to hostile environments where sealed construction and deterministic output are required. The device connects via PROFINET for integration into control systems and offers a blind hollow shaft suitable for direct coupling to driven components.

Features and Benefits:

• PROFINET Interface delivers deterministic networked position data
  Blind hollow shaft 10mm enables Compact direct coupling
  Supports rotational speeds up to 6000 r/min for high-speed applications
  Wide operating temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C for harsh environments
  Rated to IP67 and IP65 for protection against dust and water ingress

Applications

• Suitable for servo and drive systems requiring position feedback
  Ideal for rotary encoders on packaging machinery spindles
  Used with conveyors and material handling for absolute position control
  Can be used for robotics joints where sealed encoders are needed
  Suitable for feedback on industrial valves and actuators

What environmental sealing levels does it offer?

The unit carries both IP67 and IP65 ingress protection ratings, allowing temporary submersion and reliable protection against dust and splashing in different installation orientations.

What mechanical connection does it use for shaft mounting?

It employs a blind hollow shaft with a 10mm internal diameter, permitting direct shaft insertion and secure coupling without a through hole.

What temperature conditions can it tolerate during operation?

The device functions across a broad thermal span from −40 °C up to 85 °C, supporting installations exposed to low temperatures and elevated process heat.

How does it fit into typical control power architectures?

The encoder accepts supply voltages up to 30 V, aligning with common industrial 24V control supplies while accommodating higher voltage installations when required.
