The FG4S‑1024G‑90G‑NG incremental encoder is a legacy industrial encoder widely used in heavy-duty applications such as steel mills, rolling lines, conveyor systems, and metallurgical automation. With this model now obsolete, sourcing the original component has become increasingly challenging. To address this, a 1:1 custom replacement solution has been developed, replicating the original encoder’s mechanical dimensions, shaft design, electrical interfaces, and incremental output characteristics.
Engineered for harsh environments, the replacement encoder provides high reliability, precision feedback, and resistance to vibration and temperature variations, ensuring continuous operation of production equipment. The custom solution allows for seamless integration into existing systems without any modifications to machinery, wiring, or control logic.
This replacement service is designed to minimize downtime and maintain production continuity. Optional customizations are available to meet specific operational needs, such as unique pulse resolutions or shaft configurations. This approach ensures that companies reliant on the FG4S‑1024G‑90G‑NG can maintain equipment performance and extend operational life without compromise.
