SICK AFM60A-S5IB018x12 Ethernet IP Absolute Encoder

The SICK AFM60A-S5IB018x12 Ethernet IP Absolute Encoder delivers high‑resolution absolute position feedback over EtherNet/IP with multiturn capability, offering 18‑bit single‑turn and 12‑bit multiturn resolution (262,144 counts per turn and 4,096 turns). The device uses a clamp‑flange shaft arrangement with a round, full shaft measuring 10 mm plus a 19 mm flange diameter, designed for reliable mounting in compact automation layouts. Connectivity is provided by EtherNet/IP, with options for 1x or 2x M12 4‑pin axial connectors to suit different cabling schemes. Configuration and programming are accessible via a built‑in Web server and a PLC engineering tool, enabling straightforward integration into existing control architectures. The encoder is catalogued as AFM60A‑S5IB018x12, part number 1059130, and belongs to SICK’s AFM60 family, which provides robust absolute position feedback for automated motion systems.
