This incremental rotary encoder is offered as a precise 1:1 customized replacement for the RVI78N-10CALA31N-00050 series, engineered to match original mechanical dimensions, shaft type, flange configuration, and electrical output signals. The design delivers stable incremental feedback suited for motion control, automation systems, and industrial positioning applications. Robust construction and reliable signal transmission ensure consistent performance in demanding environments, making it ideal for integration into existing equipment without redesign or adaptation.
To support efficient project execution and reduced downtime, this encoder solution is available with a short lead time of approximately 10–15 working days, even with tailored specifications. Customers can specify key parameters such as resolution, output interface, operating voltage, and shaft options to ensure seamless function in replacement and retrofit scenarios. This 1:1 customized replacement approach simplifies procurement, enhances supply chain responsiveness, and maintains high 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.
