Overview

The SICK AHM36A-SCQC000A30 (Part No. 1108598) is an absolute encoder from the AHS/AHM36 series, designed for precise position feedback in industrial automation. It features a robust mechanical design with integrated measuring wheel mechanics and mounting flanges. The unit provides reliable data transmission for motion control applications. Key technical specifications include a Mean Time to Dangerous Failure (MTTFd) of 240 years according to EN ISO 13849-1, calculated based on nominal load, average ambient temperature of 40°C, and a frequency of use of 8760 hours per year.

Feature Summary

• Provides absolute position measurement for automated material handling processes
• Integrates measuring wheels and mechanics for direct linear or rotational tracking
• Features a standard product design compliant with general machinery safety calculations

Applications

• Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
• Material handling systems requiring position transparency
• Industrial automation equipment needing reliable motion feedback

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number 1108598 against your system requirements. Confirm that the included accessories, such as the BEF-MR010020R measuring wheel and BEF-FA-020-036 flange, match your mechanical interface needs. Ensure the operating environment aligns with the MTTFd calculation parameters, specifically regarding ambient temperature and usage frequency, to maintain expected reliability metrics.

Selection Notes

Select this model when absolute position data is required for safety-related or standard machinery functions. Consider the integrated measuring wheel mechanics if direct drive positioning is necessary. Evaluate the 240-year MTTFd rating against your machine's safety integrity level requirements, noting that this product is classified as a standard product rather than a dedicated safety component under the Machinery Directive.

Part Context

This encoder belongs to the AHS/AHM36 family from SICK, specialized for industrial sensor intelligence. It complements other components like the BEF-MWS120-ARM mechanics. The series is engineered for durability in factory environments, supporting both hardware and digital integration for process continuity and availability in complex material flow scenarios.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing mounting systems and signal interfaces before considering alternative models within the same product family.
