Why the AFM60A-BHNB018X12 is a Game-Changer
The AFM60A-BHNB018X12 is a multi-turn absolute encoder with PROFINET interface. It’s designed for applications where you need to know exactly where your motor or machine is – even after power loss.
- PROFINET Ethernet communication – seamless integration into modern industrial networks
- Multi-turn absolute encoding – remembers position even after power cycle (no homing required!)
- High resolution – 262,144 steps per revolution (18 bit) x 4,096 revolutions (12 bit)
- Blind hollow shaft design – 15mm diameter, super easy to mount directly on motor shafts
- Wide temperature range – works from -40°C to +85°C – tough enough for any environment
- High protection rating – IP65 (shaft side) / IP67 (housing side) – dust and water won’t stop it
- Compact design – only 60mm diameter, perfect for tight spaces
- Rich diagnostics – monitors temperature, operating hours, speed, and more
Real-Life Examples
A packaging machine builder in Italy integrated these encoders for cut-to-length applications. The absolute multi-turn feature means the machine knows exactly where the blade is – even after an emergency stop – no re-homing required!
About SICK AFS/AFM60 Ethernet – Absolute encoders
SICK AFS/AFM60 Ethernet absolute encoders take high-precision measurements of the absolute position and speed. Comprehensive smart functions for diagnosing parameters such as temperature or operating time and for early error detection increase the machine and plant availability. Various configuration options – for example, modifying the resolution – simplify installation and enable customized adjustment to each application. SICK provides function blocks for the encoders with a PROFINET and EtherNet/IP™ interface, and the AFS/AFM60 EtherNet/IP™ variants also come with an active web server. Their compact design also makes AFS/AFM60 Ethernet absolute encoders suitable for applications where space is at a premium.
The AFS/AFM60 series is their flagship absolute encoder line for Ethernet-based communication. These encoders are known for:
- High precision – 18-bit resolution is industry-leading
- Easy integration – PROFINET works with almost all modern PLCs
- Rich diagnostics – temperature, runtime, speed monitoring
- Reliable design – built for 24/7 industrial operation
