With a high resolution of 18 bits (AFS60)
or 30 bits (AFM60) and a large selection
of programmable parameters, the AFS60
absolute singleturn encoder and the
AFM60 absolute multiturn encoder set
new standards when it comes to rotary
encoders. The high resolution combined
with the high IP protection class enables
use in a multitude of industrial applications. Both encoders are equipped with
the SSI interface while the AFM60 is also
available with the SSI + Incremental and
SSI + Sin/Cos combined interfaces. A
shaft bearing distance of 30 mm means
the AFS60/AFM60 product family has
signicantly better rotation accuracy than
encoders with blocked ball bearings. Yet
despite their large bearing distance, the
AFS60/AFM60 have a compact design.
The AFS and AFM60 SSI can be programmed via the same PC-based
programming tool (PGT-08-S) or the
hand-held PGT-10-Pro programming tool.
