This incremental rotary encoder is offered as a precise customized replacement for the RVI78N-10CALA31N-05000 model, engineered to replicate original mechanical dimensions, shaft type, flange design, and electrical output signals. It delivers dependable incremental feedback suitable for motion control, automation, and positioning systems, ensuring seamless integration with existing equipment without requiring design modifications. The robust construction supports stable performance in demanding industrial environments.
To support efficient project execution and minimize downtime, this encoder solution can be delivered with a short lead time of approximately 10–15 working days, even when tailored to specific requirements. Critical specifications such as resolution, output interface, operating voltage range, and connector configuration can be matched to your system needs. This customized replacement approach simplifies procurement, enhances supply chain responsiveness, and ensures consistent performance for both maintenance and new installations.


Incremental rotary encoder RVI78
Description
One special feature of this incremental rotary encoder is the mechanical versatility of the flange. The rotary encoder has a centering shoulder with a diameter of 42 mm and one with a diameter of 56 mm.
In addition to the four M4 holes, the encoder has a servo infeed on the circumference. This allows you to make a slight adjustment to the reference point of the incremental rotary encoder by turning the housing.
The clamping element that grips into the servo infeed ensures that the incremental rotary encoder stays firmly in place without slipping out of adjustment.
The pulse disk is designed in plastic up to 1500 pulses. Beyond that, glass is used.
