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

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.

• 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

• 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

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

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

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.

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