AHS/AHM36 absolute encoders set standards when it comes to mechanical adaptation, communication and resistance to environmental influences. With their rotatable male connector or cable connection as well as various mounting hole patterns and adapter flanges, these encoders are suitable for nearly any application. The IO-Link, CANopen and SSI interfaces enable easy integration into various control environments. Encoder configuration can be adapted to individual needs using various tools. The rugged, reliable, fully magnetic sensor system provides a maximum resolution of 14 bits (singleturn) or 26 bits (multiturn). Due to the stainless-steel design and enclosure rating IP69K, the Inox versions are suitable for use under very harsh ambient conditions.

Measures the absolute position in various industries, machines, and tools, including automated guided vehicle systems (AGV systems), industrial trucks, commercial vehicles, packaging machines, logistics applications, machine construction and medical technology.
