AFS/AFM60S ProSafety Encoder

Brand: Sick AG

The AFS/AFM60S Pro is an absolute encoder for functional safety. 

It fulfills very strict test criteria and is a certified safety product up to SIL3/PL e. 

The absolute encoder supports the safety functions in accordance with IEC 61800-5-2 and impresses in particular with its safe positioning function. 

Thanks to the high enclosure rating and large temperature range, the AFS/AFM60S Pro can be used in harsh environments. 

With its SSI and sin/cos interface, it can be easily integrated into a range of different controls. 

In doing so, single-turn resolution, counting direction and other parameters can be adapted individually. 

The integrated error memory detects important ambient data which provides support during installation and maintenance.
