This incremental rotary encoder is developed as a precise 1:1 replacement for the RVI78N-10CALA31N-01000 model, ensuring full compatibility with existing equipment. The design accurately matches mechanical dimensions, shaft structure, mounting flange, and electrical output characteristics, allowing direct installation without system modification. It provides stable incremental signal output suitable for motion control, automation systems, and industrial positioning applications, supporting consistent performance in continuous operation environments.
To meet tight project schedules and maintenance needs, this encoder solution supports customized configuration with a short lead time of approximately 10–15 working days. Key parameters such as resolution, output interface, operating voltage, and connector type can be matched to original specifications, reducing commissioning time and replacement risk. This 1:1 replacement approach helps improve supply chain flexibility, minimize downtime, and ensure reliable operation for retrofit projects and new industrial 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.
