Supplemented with 12-bit multiturn resolution, the 18-bit single-turn AFS60 becomes the AFM60 multiturn encoder with an ''absolute'' top value of 30 bits. The series have been designed for extreme sturdiness for optical system. Firstly, this is due to its nickel code disk, which is more robust than code disks made of glass, and offers a better resolution and higher temperature resistance than plastic disks. The AFM/AFS60 can be used at ambient temperatures of from -20 to 100°C. In addition, the expanded 30mm shaft bearing of the AFM/AFS60 ensures considerably greater ruggedness than encoders with blocked ball bearings. Each device in the AFM/AFS60 series, with 60 mm housings, is available as a clamping or a servo-flange version for solid round shafts. Users can choose between M12 or M23 plug connections, or opt for cable exits that can be used radially or axially.
