SICK ARS60 Series Absolute Absolute Encoder 32V dc, 8192 ppr ppr, SSI Signal, Solid Type, 10 mm Shaft

SICK ARS60 Series Absolute Encoder, IP65, 32V Maximum Supply Voltage - ARS60-A4A08192 / 1031447

This absolute encoder provides single-turn positional feedback for industrial automation and control systems, delivering absolute angular data via an SSI-Grey interface. Designed for face-mount installation with a solid shaft and radial 12-pin connector, it operates across a wide temperature range and is suited to electrically noisy environments when screened cabling is used.

Features & Benefits

• High single-turn resolution 8192 steps for precise positioning
  Supply range 10V–32V ensures flexible system integration
  Robust enclosure rating IP65 when connector fitted for harsh sites
  Repeatability σr 0.005° supports tight control loops
  Bearing lifetime 3.6x10^9 revolutions minimises maintenance intervals

**Applications**

• Suitable for servo drives requiring accurate absolute position feedback
  Ideal for rotary indexing tables in assembly automation
  Used with PLCs needing SSI absolute position input
  Can be used for motor feedback in packaging machinery
  Suitable for test rigs requiring high repeatability over many cycles

What connector and wiring options are provided for integration?

A radial M23 12-pin male connector is fitted for direct plug-in
recommended screened SSI cabling and specific prewired cable assemblies are available for different lengths and connector styles.

What mechanical shaft specifics should be considered during installation?

The encoder uses a solid shaft design with 10mm diameter and 18 mm length
permissible loads are 20 N radial and 10 N axial and maximum operating torque is 0.3 Ncm.

How does the device perform under vibration and shock?

It tolerates shocks up to 50g for 11ms and vibration up to 20g across 10Hz–2000Hz in line with relevant EN tests.

What environmental storage and operating limits apply?

Operational temperatures range from −20°C to +85°C and storage from −40°C to +100°C with up to 90% relative humidity where condensation of optical scanning is prevented.

Notes

The bus coupler (stock no. 492-9208) is required to form a fully functioning encoder
