Today, we’re introducing an encoder model: FG40KK-5000G-90G-NG. This heavy-duty incremental encoder is widely used in the iron, steel, and metallurgy industries. This article focuses on its replacement solution — we just completed the development yesterday.
Here’s what happened:
A client commissioned us to develop a replacement for the FG40KK-5000G-90G-NG encoder. As it turned out, we had already developed the solution two years ago. Since this was a new client unaware of this, we clarified the situation.
Swiftly, we completed the manufacturing of this replacement solution. The entire solution adopts 1:1 parameter replication of the original product, enabling it to seamlessly replace the original model in applications. The image shows the physical unit of our replacement product.
In recent years, demand for replacement encoder development has grown significantly. We regularly receive custom development projects from regions like the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia, Brazil, and other parts of South America. Most cases involve hard-to-procure encoder models or discontinued encoder models. For such encoders, we provide custom non-standard solutions whenever feasible. For most common encoder models, we offer commissioned development and production services.
Regarding the encoder model discussed today, the primary challenge is procurement difficulty. In our country, the main issue is excessively long lead times, leaving many clients unable to wait. As a last resort, they ultimately opt for custom replacement solutions.
If you face similar challenges, we can help resolve your application issues. Across the rotary encoder industry, we provide non-standard custom replacements for numerous models. Whenever a rotary encoder product hinders your operations, feel free to contact us.
That’s all for today’s notes.
