1115179

Overview

The SICK part number 1115179 corresponds to the AHM36A-SCQC000A30, an absolute encoder from the AHS/AHM36 series. This component is designed for precise position feedback in industrial automation applications. It operates as a standard product and does not constitute a safety component as defined in the Machinery Directive. The system includes measuring wheels and mechanics, with specific technical documentation referencing a Mean Time to Dangerous Failure (MTTFD) of 240 years based on nominal load, average ambient temperature of 40°C, and a frequency of use of 8760 hours per annum.

Feature Summary

• Provides absolute position data for linear or rotary measurement tasks
• Integrated into modular measuring wheel systems for flexible installation
• Designed for high availability and process transparency in material handling

Applications

• Linear measuring tasks in automated material handling
• Position feedback in industrial machinery requiring absolute encoders
• Integration with measuring wheel mechanics for distance tracking

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact variant suffix against the official SICK datasheet to ensure compatibility with required interfaces and mounting configurations. Confirm that the application does not require a certified safety component, as this unit is classified as a standard product under the Machinery Directive. Cross-reference the MTTFD calculation assumptions with actual operating conditions to validate reliability expectations.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an absolute encoder is needed for integration with SICK measuring wheel systems. Consider the available interfaces and mechanical dimensions during selection. Ensure the environment matches the operational parameters used for reliability calculations, such as temperature and usage frequency, to maintain expected performance levels.

Part Context

This encoder belongs to the AHS/AHM36 family, which offers modular solutions for industrial sensing. It is often paired with specific measuring wheels and flanges to create complete positioning systems. The series supports various communication protocols and mounting options, allowing customization for different automation requirements while maintaining compact design principles.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers within the AHS/AHM36 series. Verify interface compatibility and mechanical fit before substitution. Generic equivalents are not recommended without explicit manufacturer validation.
