SICK EKM36-0KF0B020A

This product will be shipped within one business week. We are unable to dispatch it before that timeframe.

The EKM36-0KF0B020A is a compact, high-resolution multiturn motor feedback encoder developed by SICK. It utilizes the HIPERFACE DSL® interface, enabling both power and data transmission through a single cable, which simplifies installation and reduces system complexity. This encoder is designed for integration into motors with a 36 mm diameter, making it ideal for applications where space is limited.
