SICK AFM60 Series Absolute Absolute Encoder 30V, Profinet Signal, Solid Type, 6 mm Shaft

This absolute encoder provides precise position feedback for industrial automation environments. Designed for direct shaft mounting with a flange interface, it communicates via PROFINET and is suited to control systems requiring single-turn absolute position data within harsh installations.

• PROFINET Interface enables deterministic network communication
• 6mm solid shaft allows straightforward coupling to rotary components
• Rated for operation up to 85°C supports high-temperature installations
• Speed capability to 9,000 rpm accommodates fast-rotating machinery
• Protection to IP67 and IP65 resists ingress in wet or dusty environments
• Accepts supply voltages up to 30V for flexible system integration

• Suitable for servo motor feedback in factory automation systems
• Ideal for conveyor speed and position monitoring in plant lines
• Used with robotic joints requiring absolute position referencing
• Can be used for rotary valve position sensing in processing plants
• Suitable for encoder replacement in control cabinets with PROFINET networks

It mounts by flange and connects directly to a driven shaft using the 6mm solid shaft for secure mechanical coupling.

The unit meets IP67/IP65 ingress protection, enabling operation where exposure to dust and temporary immersion or spray is possible.

It communicates over PROFINET and is compatible with supply voltages up to 30V for connection to standard industrial power rails.

The device is rated for rotational operation as high as 9,000 rpm, suitable for high-speed feedback tasks.

It functions across a wide temperature span down to -40°C and up to 85°C for demanding thermal environments.
