Sick AFS60A-BHIB262144 Absolute Encoder 15mm Shaft

The Sick AFS60A-BHIB262144 Ethernet Absolute Encoder delivers high-resolution position feedback with 262,144 steps per revolution and a 15 mm blind hollow shaft, combining precise tracking with robust industrial connectivity. It operates from 10 to 30 V DC and draws ≤3 W, enabling compact, energy-efficient integration with a wide range of controllers and drives. The unit features an aluminum housing and a stainless steel shaft, with shaft-side IP65 and housing-side IP67 protection, and it tolerates temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C (storage to -40 °C to +100 °C) for demanding environments. For network compatibility, it uses EtherNet/IP with 3 x M12, 4-pin axial connectors and supports speeds up to 6,000 min⁻¹, making it suitable for robotics, automated machinery, servo feedback, and other precision motion applications where reliable, networked absolute positioning is essential.
