SICK SKM36 Series Safety Encoder Rotary Encoder 12V dc, 128 ppr ppr, Sin/Cos Signal, Knurled Type, 15 mm Shaft

The motor feedback system features a rotary model with a HIPERFACE communication interface, allowing integration of sine/cosine periods per revolution, and has a safety system, a tapered shaft, and an optical technology. The encoder represents the inaugural offering of a new generation of optical motor feedback systems. With 128 sine/cosine signals per revolution, this family sets the standard among MFB systems with a HIPERFACE interface. A notable feature of this generation is its exceptionally small code disk, with a mere 2 mm code track radius, enabling comprehensive scanning. This system compensates for inevitable eccentricity errors in the code disk, ball bearing, and shaft encountered in conventional systems.

Moreover, the placement of the code disk in the middle of the rotary axle eliminates limitations on high angular speeds imposed by the code disk. It offers absolute position indication with an increment number of 4,096 increments per revolution and a maximum of 4,096 revolutions. Key features of this product family include the storage of motor-specific data in the electronic type label and programmability. Certified to SIL2/PL d standards, these motor feedback systems meet current safety technology requirements and streamline the certification process.
