Overview

The SICK AHM36B-BDQC012X12 is an absolute encoder from the AHS/AHM36 series, designed for industrial automation. It features a hollow blind bore shaft with a 10 mm diameter and operates on a 30V DC supply. The device provides IO-Link output signals and delivers 4096 pulses per revolution (ppr). It supports a maximum rotational speed of 4096 rpm and functions within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The unit has IP65 protection, measures 36mm in width, 52mm in height, and 51mm in depth, and complies with EN 61000-6-3, EN 61131-9, and EN 61000-6-2 standards.

Feature Summary

• Hollow blind bore shaft design facilitates direct mounting onto drive systems without additional couplings.
• IO-Link interface enables digital communication for parameterization and diagnostic data exchange.
• Absolute position detection ensures immediate position retrieval upon power-up without homing procedures.

Applications

• Position feedback in automated assembly lines
• Drive control in packaging machinery
• Robotics joint angle monitoring

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required shaft diameter and electrical interface before ordering. Confirm environmental conditions align with the specified operating temperature range and IP rating. Ensure compatibility with the host controller's IO-Link master capabilities. Check for any specific certification requirements relevant to your industry sector.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact absolute encoder with a hollow shaft is required for space-constrained installations. The IO-Link capability is suitable for systems requiring advanced diagnostics and configuration via standard industrial networks. Consider the 4096 resolution and 4096 rpm limit against application dynamics.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK AHS/AHM36 Absolute Encoders series, which offers compact solutions for motion control applications. The AHM variant specifically denotes the hollow shaft construction, distinguishing it from solid shaft counterparts within the same product family designed for different mechanical integration needs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK documentation for verified cross-references or updated series replacements. Do not assume interchangeability with other manufacturers' models due to potential differences in mounting dimensions, electrical specifications, or protocol implementations.

FAQ

What is the maximum rotational speed supported by this encoder?

The maximum rotational speed is 4096 rpm.

Does this encoder require a homing sequence after power loss?

No, as an absolute encoder, it retains position information and does not require homing after power cycles.
