Sick A3M60 Series Absolute Absolute Encoder, PROFIBUS Signal, Blind Hollow Type, 8mm Shaft

The A3M60 is an extremely rugged absolute multitier encoder inside a 60 mm housing. Maximum reliability even in the harshest of ambient conditions is attained by means of magnetic scanning, both with single turn and multitier detection. New single turn technology combines the durability of a magnetic sensor with high resolutions, previously only possible with optical systems. The innovative, gearless multitier 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 multitier 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.
