Absolute Encoders from Stegmann

DAYTON, OH – SICK STEGMANN, INC. introduces AFS60 Singleturn and AFM60 Multiturn Absolute Encoders. With the help of a simple programming tool, users, system integrators and distributors can self-configure any programmable version of the AFM/AFS60 via a PC or laptop in seconds, without the need for an external voltage supply. Resolutions up to 262,144 singleturn and 4,096 revolutions multiturn, zero point or offset and the counting direction can be freely selected.

Their innovative design allows a 30 mm distance between bearings which decreases vibration, increases bearing life, and delivers exceptionally smooth operation even at the maximum operating speed. Coupled with a robust Nickel code disc, they are particularly suited to determining position, angle, speed or acceleration in harsh application environments requiring both maximum accuracy and reliability. These revolutionary encoders come with an option of a pluggable outlet that can be used as either a radial or axial cable outlet which reduces installation depth and provides simple cable replacement, if needed. The AFM60 multiturn provides 30-bit resolution, and the AFS60 singleturn provides 18-bit resolution, at speeds up to 9,000 rpm. They are rated for operation in temperatures ranging from –20 …+100°C, and offer up to 70 g/6 ms resistance to shock and up to 30 g/10 … 2000 Hz resistance to vibration.
