1080588

Overview

SICK part number 1080588 is a component within the POMUX KH53 series of non-contact linear encoders. This system utilizes absolute measurement technology with a maximum measuring length of up to 1600 meters. It features an inductive scale and a read head that detects position without physical contact, ensuring maintenance-free operation. The unit supports SSI and PROFIBUS interfaces for data transmission.

Feature Summary

• Non-contact absolute position detection using inductive scale technology
• High redundancy allowing read head spacing of up to 55 mm
• Robust design suitable for harsh industrial environments

Applications

• Cranes and lifting equipment
• Warehouse automation systems
• Conveyor technology
• Rail vehicles

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific interface configuration and cable length requirements against the official datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the selected model matches the required measuring range and environmental protection class for the intended installation site. Ensure compatibility with existing control systems regarding protocol support.

Selection Notes

Select this encoder based on the need for long-distance absolute positioning without reference runs. Consider the high gap tolerance and non-contact nature for applications requiring minimal maintenance. Evaluate the available interface options to ensure seamless integration with the plant's communication network.

Part Context

The POMUX KH53 series represents SICK's solution for heavy-duty linear measurement. It is designed for extreme conditions where traditional mechanical encoders would fail due to wear or contamination. The series emphasizes durability and precision over very long travel distances.
