1115870

Overview

The SICK part number 1115870 corresponds to the AHM36A-SCQC000A30, an absolute encoder belonging to the AHS/AHM36 series. This component is designed for integration into measuring wheel mechanics and mounting systems. It provides absolute position data via serial interfaces. The unit features a robust housing suitable for industrial environments. It is typically supplied as part of a kit including measuring wheels and flanges. The encoder supports high-resolution position feedback for precise motion control applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides absolute position measurement without requiring homing procedures after power loss.
• Designed for direct integration with measuring wheel mechanics and mounting flanges.
• Features a compact metric housing suitable for space-constrained installations.

Applications

• Integration into mobile robot navigation systems.
• Position tracking in automated guided vehicle (AGV) drive trains.
• Length measurement systems in material handling equipment.

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete ordering code includes all necessary suffixes for interface and mounting configuration. Confirm compatibility with the specific measuring wheel diameter and mechanical assembly requirements. Check for required accessories such as mounting brackets or cables if not included in the base kit. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational site conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when absolute position feedback is required for measuring wheels. Consider the mechanical interface compatibility with existing drive shafts or wheels. Evaluate the need for additional software packages like Dynamic Sensing Profile or LiDAR-LOC if used in complex navigation tasks. Verify voltage supply and signal output requirements against the controller specifications.
