SICK A3M60 ABSOLUTE ENCODERS About
Product description
The A3M60 is an extremely rugged absolute multiturn encoder inside a 60 mm housing. Maximum reliability even in the harshest of ambient conditions is attained by means of magnetic scanning, both with singleturn and multiturn detection. New singleturn technology combines the durability of a magnetic sensor with high resolutions, previously only possible with optical systems. The innovative, gearless multiturn technology keeps the number of moving components on the A3M60 to a minimum. This results in a long service life with low maintenance costs and consequently optimum system availability. The highly compact technology in single and multiturn detection provides the user a space-saving and cost-efficient solution. Together with the integrated PROFIBUS interface, the A3M60 is particularly suited for applications where installation space is tight.
