AFS/AFM60 SSI

Overview

Precise, flexible, programmable

The AFS/AFM60 SSI offers a maximum total resolution of up to 30 bits (AFM60), a large selection of programmable parameters, good concentricity properties, and a compact design. Thanks to the combination of high resolution and high enclosure rating, the encoders are suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. Variants with a stainless-steel housing are available for applications in harsh environments. The AFS/AFM60 SSI are equipped as standard with an SSI interface, and the AFM60 is also available with combined SSI and incremental as well as SSI and sin/cos interfaces. The encoders can be programmed via the PGT-08-S PC-based programming device or the PGT-10-Pro hand-held programming device.
