SICK AFS/AFM60 Series Absolute Encoder, 8mm Shaft Diameter, IP65/IP67 - AFM60A-BBNB018X12 / 1059038


This absolute encoder provides precise angular position feedback for automation and motion-control systems using a fieldbus interface. It is designed for industrial environments where rugged ingress protection and a Compact flange mounting are required, delivering position data via an Ethernet-based control network and supporting continuous operation across a wide temperature range.

Features and Benefits:


• Profinet Interface enables real-time networked position feedback
• Absolute measurement preserves position after power loss
• Blind hollow 8mm shaft allows secure coupling with minimal alignment
• Rated for up to 6000 r/min to suit high-speed rotary applications
• Wide supply tolerance supporting operation up to 30V
• IP65 and IP67 ingress protection for dust and temporary immersion

Applications


• Suitable for servo and actuator position feedback in factories
• Ideal for conveyor speed and position monitoring systems
• Used with rotary indexing tables in assembly equipment
• Can be used for motor feedback in variable-speed drives
• Suitable for robotics joint-angle measurement in automation cells

What mounting arrangement does it use and why is that useful?


It uses a flange-mount design that simplifies axial alignment and secure installation on housings and gearboxes without additional adaptor plates.

How does the hollow shaft design affect installation?


The blind hollow shaft accepts a mating shaft up to 8mm and permits clamping or keyed couplings, reducing transmitted axial loads and easing replacement.

What environmental resilience can be expected during washdowns or accidental immersion?


The enclosure meets IP65 and IP67 criteria, providing protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water under defined conditions.

Which operating temperatures does it accommodate for outdoor or cold-room use?


It is rated to function across a wide thermal span from −40 °C up to 85 °C, covering typical industrial cold and heated environments.

How does the encoder maintain position data when power is removed?


It delivers absolute positional output so the current shaft position is available immediately after power is restored via the Profinet interface.
