SICK ARS20-HG504096 Absolute Encoder

SICK ARS20-HG504096 Absolute Encoder is a rotary absolute position sensor in SICK's ARS20 family (originating from STEGMANN) that provides direct, non-volatile position data for feedback in automation systems. It operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 V DC, enabling integration with standard industrial controllers, PLCs, and servo drives that require absolute-position information for reliable motion control. The HG504096 variant identifies the specific configuration within the ARS20 line, making it straightforward to match with existing equipment and control architectures that rely on a single output representing shaft angle. As an absolute encoder, it delivers a unique code for each shaft position, preserving position information through power cycles and enabling precise repeatability in applications such as machine automation, robotics, and packaging or process equipment where accurate positioning is critical.
