A new, revolutionary bearing design and metal code disc give these encoders a longer encoder lifetime than most competitive versions, reducing replacement costs and the number of encoders customers need in inventory. The AFS60 singleturn version can be programmed to accommodate any value from 1 to 262,144 counts per revolution - something no other encoder can do.

SICK is the only company to offer a high-resolution absolute encoder, with 18 bit resolutions on the AFS60 and 30 bit resolutions on the AFM60. Their compact size and high accuracy is ideal for applications that require precise and reliable positioning. From collision avoidance in the mobile vehicle market…to position control in robotics and packaging applications, the AFS60 and AFM60 can be used in a variety of manufacturing environments.
