The SICK ARS60-GDL00042 is a single-turn absolute encoder (model ARS60, part no. 1209536) that provides absolute position data via a Gray-coded parallel data interface over a 22-wire, radial 3 m cable. It delivers up to 42,360 steps per revolution with a resolution of 0.016°, an error limit G of 0.046°, and a repeatability of 0.005°, offering precise, repeatable positioning for demanding motion-control applications. Initialization time is 80 ms with the shaft stationary, and the system specifies a backlash of 0.005° and a response threshold of 0.003°. CW direction increases as you view the rotating shaft clockwise.
