High-precision SICK AFM60E-S4AC004096 absolute encoder with SSI output, 4096-step multi-turn resolution, durable design, and reliable motion-control performance.
The SICK AFM60E-S4AC004096 absolute encoder is engineered to deliver precise multi-turn position feedback for advanced motion-control tasks. Offering a combined 4,096-step single-turn resolution and 4,096-turn counting capability, it maintains accurate angular data even when power is lost. Its solid 10 mm shaft, rugged aluminum housing, and dual IP65/IP67 protection make it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Designed for stable performance across a wide 4.5–32 V supply range, the encoder integrates seamlessly into automation, robotics, and mechanical equipment where repeatable, drift-free positioning is essential.
The AFM60E-S4AC004096 provides high-fidelity measurement with extremely fine repeatability and minimal deviation, supporting synchronized machine movements and reliable rotary monitoring. Its construction withstands vibration, shock loads, and rotational speeds up to 9,000 rpm, helping reduce failures in continuous-operation systems. The stainless-steel shaft minimizes wear, while the SSI output ensures stable, noise-resistant communication. Features like adjustable counting direction and an M12 8-pin connector simplify integration, making it a practical choice for builders needing both durability and precise motion data in long-life automation setups.
Because it delivers precision you can depend on—even in the toughest motion-control environments. The AFM60E-S4AC004096 combines fine-resolution multi-turn tracking with a rugged mechanical design, giving machines the confidence to position, rotate, and synchronize without hesitation. Its stable SSI communication, long service life, and hassle-free integration make it a powerful upgrade for engineers who dislike uncertainty and demand reliable, repeatable performance.
It eliminates guesswork in rotary positioning. Machines often lose accuracy due to vibration, power interruptions, or mechanical drift—but this encoder keeps its position data intact through every cycle. By delivering precise, noise-resistant measurements across thousands of revolutions, the AFM60E-S4AC004096 solves the persistent challenge of maintaining consistent motion feedback in fast, harsh, or uninterrupted industrial processes.

Automated storage systems rely on tall rack structures and fast-moving carriers to place goods in exact locations. An encoder with multi-turn capability, such as the AFM60E-S4AC004096, allows these machines to track long vertical and horizontal travel without losing reference at any point. Its fine resolution supports accurate navigation through narrow aisles, while its resistance to vibration keeps feedback stable even during rapid acceleration. Because the encoder retains position after power interruptions, the system can resume operation without lengthy recalibration. This improves picking speed, reduces manual interventions, and supports continuous inventory movement in modern logistics facilities.
Robotic arms perform tasks that demand precise repetition—whether assembling components, welding, or handling delicate materials. This encoder helps maintain accurate joint rotation measurements across multiple revolutions, ensuring the robot’s movements remain synchronized at every axis. Its stable digital output prevents electrical noise from interfering with motion signals, which is important in dense robotic work cells filled with motors and drives. The high repeatability ensures the robot can return to a programmed trajectory without drifting off its intended path. As a result, production lines achieve better quality, smoother multi-axis coordination, and fewer adjustments during complex automated operations.
Packaging machinery runs continuously, with rollers, sealers, blades, and feeders all moving in strict timing sequences. A multi-turn encoder like the AFM60E-S4AC004096 ensures that rotating elements remain perfectly synchronized across the entire machine cycle. Its ability to handle fast rotational speeds makes it suitable for equipment that must cut, fold, or seal materials with split-second precision. Because the encoder withstands shock and mechanical vibration, its readings remain consistent even when handling varying product loads or rapid stops. This results in fewer jams, better sealing quality, and greater overall stability in demanding packaging environments.
CNC machines often require accurate rotation feedback for indexing tables, rotating tools, and auxiliary axes. The AFM60E-S4AC004096 provides detailed position data across multiple rotations, enabling consistent tool alignment during long machining cycles. Its durable structure resists the vibration and impact forces common in cutting applications, helping maintain precision over time. Since the encoder preserves its positional value after the machine is powered down, operators avoid repeated homing procedures before starting new jobs. This reduces preparation time, improves machining consistency, and enhances productivity for workshops handling metals, composites, or wood.
