AFM60A-S4NB018x12 PROFINET Multiturn Absolute Encoder 18+12 Bit | SICK

The Original New SICK AFM60A-S4NB018x12 (1059039) is a PROFINET multiturn absolute encoder from the AFM60 Ethernet series, designed for high-precision position feedback in industrial automation and motion control systems. It delivers an 18-bit singleturn resolution (262,144 steps per revolution) combined with a 12-bit multiturn resolution (4,096 revolutions), for a total resolution of 30 bits. The encoder features a 10 mm solid stainless steel shaft with a face mount flange, an aluminium housing, and a rugged design rated IP65/IP67 for demanding environments. It connects via three M12 connectors and supports PROFINET communication with a transmission rate of 10/100 Mbit/s. Integrated diagnostic functions, including temperature monitoring, speed measurement, and operating-hour counters, support predictive maintenance and system reliability.
