2129577

Overview

The SICK AHM36A-SCQC000A30 (Part No. 2129577) is an absolute encoder from the AHS/AHM36 series, designed for industrial automation applications. It utilizes measuring wheel mechanics to provide precise position feedback. The unit includes a mounting flange and associated mechanical components for integration into machinery. Key technical data includes a Mean Time to Dangerous Failure (MTTFD) of 240 years, calculated based on nominal load, average ambient temperature of 40°C, and a frequency of use of 8760 hours per annum. This product is classified as a standard product and does not constitute a safety component under the Machinery Directive.

Feature Summary

• Provides absolute position measurement through integrated measuring wheel mechanics.
• Designed for reliable integration into industrial material handling systems.
• Includes dedicated mounting hardware for secure installation.

Applications

• Material handling equipment
• Industrial automation machinery
• Process supply chain monitoring

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number 2129577 matches the required AHM36A-SCQC000A30 configuration. Confirm that the application environment aligns with the MTTFD calculation parameters, specifically the 40°C ambient temperature and 8760 h/a usage frequency. Ensure the system design accounts for this being a standard product rather than a certified safety component.

Selection Notes

Select this model when absolute position tracking via mechanical wheels is required for non-safety-critical automation tasks. Consider the included mounting accessories to simplify installation. Evaluate if the standard product classification meets regulatory requirements, as it is not defined as a safety component under the Machinery Directive.
