For systems equipped with the GA241.B106102 model, we provide a precise parallel absolute encoder 1:1 replacement solution. The replacement encoder replicates the original unit’s electrical behavior, parallel output configuration, mechanical dimensions, and functional interfaces, allowing installation without modifications to existing hardware or software systems.
From a technical perspective, GA241.B106102 is a singleturn optical parallel encoder offering 13-bit absolute position information via 13 parallel outputs. It delivers high accuracy and stable code output, ensuring reliable position data immediately after power-up. Support for Gray or binary coding, configurable rotation direction via wiring, and integrated control inputs (ENABLE, STORE, ZERO, UP/DOWN) provide controlled output management for system-level operation. Push-pull short-circuit-proof outputs, along with self-diagnostic features and continuous code continuity checks, enhance operational reliability in industrial environments.


Mechanically, the encoder is housed in a Ø58 mm aluminum casing, with optional shaft sealing for environmental protection. It is designed to withstand vibration, shock, humidity, and extended temperature ranges, suitable for continuous-duty applications in demanding industrial systems. Verified functional equivalence and mechanical compatibility make this 1:1 parallel encoder replacement a reliable long-term alternative for the GA241.B106102 model.
