For applications using the GA241.B12C002 model, we provide a professional parallel absolute encoder customized replacement solution. The replacement encoder is designed to match the original unit in electrical interface, output configuration, resolution, and functional behavior, allowing direct installation without modifications to control software, PLC mapping, or wiring logic. This ensures stable operation and predictable performance in industrial automation systems.
Technically, GA241.B12C002 is a singleturn optical parallel absolute encoder with 13-bit resolution (8192 steps per revolution). Absolute position data is delivered through 13 parallel outputs, providing immediate and deterministic feedback after power-up. The encoder supports Gray or binary coding, with rotation direction (CW/CCW) selectable via wiring. Integrated control inputs such as ENABLE, STORE, ZERO, and UP/DOWN allow controlled output activation and flexible system-level position management. Push-pull, short-circuit-proof outputs, combined with internal code continuity monitoring and self-diagnostics, ensure reliable operation in industrial environments.


Mechanically, the replacement encoder features a Ø58 mm aluminum housing, with optional shaft sealing for IP65 protection. It is suitable for defined mechanical and electrical operating speeds, low starting torque, and specified axial and radial shaft loads. The design meets industrial EMC standards and withstands vibration, shock, humidity, and wide temperature ranges. This makes it a dependable solution for material handling systems, industrial machinery, and automation equipment requiring accurate absolute position feedback.
