Description

SICK ATM60-AAA12X12 Absolute Encoder

Product Dimensions：

The SICK ATM60-AAA12X12 is a high-performance, multiturn absolute encoder from the ATM60 family. It is renowned for its reliability and precision in harsh industrial environments, utilizing magnetic scanning technology to provide accurate positioning data.

1. Product Description

The ATM60-AAA12X12 is a magnetic absolute encoder designed to provide position feedback even in the event of power loss. Unlike incremental encoders, it “remembers” its position without requiring a reference run. This specific model features a SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface), a 12mm hollow shaft design, and a high resolution of 24 bits (12-bit singleturn and 12-bit multiturn).

3. Key Advantages

• Ruggedness: The magnetic scanning technology is highly resistant to dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations compared to optical encoders.

• SSI Interface: Provides fast, reliable, and standardized data transmission, making it compatible with most industrial PLCs.

• Maintenance-Free: The mechanical gear system for multiturn counting does not require a battery, ensuring long-term data integrity without maintenance.

• Easy Configuration: Features “Electronic Adjustment,” allowing users to set the zero point or a specific position value via a hardware pin or software.

4. Important Considerations (Precautions)

• Shaft Alignment: Ensure precise alignment during installation to avoid excessive radial or axial loads on the bearings, which can lead to premature failure.

• Electrical Noise: Use shielded cables and ensure proper grounding to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting the SSI signal.

• Environmental Protection: While the housing is IP67, the shaft entry is often IP43. If used in washdown environments, additional sealing or protection may be required.

• Voltage Polarity: Double-check wiring before powering up; reverse polarity can damage the internal electronics.

5. Typical Applications

The ATM60 series is versatile and used across various heavy-duty industries:

• Crane Systems: Monitoring the height of hoists and the position of the trolley.

• Steel Mills: High-precision positioning in rolling mills where heat and vibration are present.

• Logistics & Conveyors: Tracking the exact position of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or large sorting systems.

• Renewable Energy: Pitch and yaw control for wind turbines to optimize wind capture.
