SICK ATM60-P1H13X13 Absolute Encoder

 

 

Product Overview

The SICK ATM60-P1H13X13 is a high-performance absolute multiturn rotary encoder used for precise position and speed feedback in industrial automation systems.

It provides absolute position data even after power loss, making it suitable for servo systems, CNC machines, and heavy-duty motion control.

Working Principle

The encoder uses magnetic absolute sensing technology:

• Singleturn section measures exact shaft position (13-bit)
• Multiturn section tracks number of revolutions (13-bit gear system)
• Output is transmitted via PROFIBUS DP fieldbus

Even if power is lost:

• Position is retained immediately after restart
• No homing required
