1061312

Overview

The SICK model 1061312 is an incremental linear encoder from the EcoLine series, designed for precise position measurement in industrial automation. It features a measuring range of 0 to 5 meters with a resolution of 0.02 mm. The device utilizes a M12, 8-pin male connector and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The sensor head is configured with a radial connector orientation, ensuring flexible integration into compact mechanical assemblies while maintaining reliable signal transmission for motion control applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-resolution incremental position feedback suitable for precision motion control tasks
• Features a rugged design compatible with demanding industrial environments
• Enables straightforward integration through standard M12 connector interfaces

Applications

• Linear axis positioning in CNC machinery
• Position monitoring in automated assembly lines
• Feedback systems for robotic actuators

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required cable length matches the 0 to 5 meter specification. Confirm that the host controller supports the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage range. Ensure the radial connector orientation fits the available space in the machine design. Check compatibility with the specific signal processing unit if differential signals are required.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 0.02 mm resolution is sufficient for the application requirements. Consider the radial connector layout for spatial constraints. Compare against absolute encoders if power-off position retention is necessary, as this is an incremental device. Evaluate the operating temperature range against environmental conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK EcoLine series, which focuses on cost-effective linear measurement solutions. The series offers various interface options including SSI and EtherCAT, but this specific part uses analog or pulse output via M12. It complements the broader portfolio of detection sensors and safety components provided by SICK for comprehensive factory automation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 0.02 mm resolution and 5-meter range. Verify interface compatibility, as other EcoLine variants may use different connectors like M23 or 12-pin configurations. Ensure the supply voltage requirements align with existing system power supplies.
