BL24CM1A-PARC

The BL24CM1A-PARC is a compact, high-precision absolute rotary encoder from SICK, designed for industrial automation. It features:
- Absolute position measurement (up to 16-bit resolution).
- SSI or BiSS-C interface for reliable data transmission.
- Robust construction (IP65/IP67 protection) for harsh environments.
- Hollow shaft design (up to Ø30 mm) for easy integration.
- High rotational speed (up to 12,000 rpm).
Ideal for CNC machines, robotics, and motion control, it ensures accurate, real-time position feedback. The PARC (Programmable Absolute Rotary Encoder) variant allows custom parameterization via software.
For detailed specs, refer to the SICK datasheet.
