We provide a 1:1 replacement solution for the AMG81S29Z0 absolute encoder, engineered to match the original unit’s electrical interface, signal output, and mechanical mounting. This replacement is designed for seamless integration into existing automation systems without requiring changes to PLC programs, network parameters, or motion control logic, making it suitable for maintenance spares, retrofit projects, and system upgrades.
The AMG81S29Z0 encoder delivers optical absolute position feedback with high resolution and excellent stability, suitable for applications demanding precise position information. It operates on a 10–30 V DC supply with reverse polarity protection and supports programmable features such as CW/CCW code sequencing and rotational direction alignment. Built‑in diagnostic functions and the integrated DUO‑LED status indicator provide clear visual feedback on operating status and fault conditions, contributing to improved system reliability.


Mechanically, the replacement maintains the original flange and shaft mounting arrangements, ensuring direct dimensional compatibility with existing machine structures and drive couplings. The encoder design meets industrial standards for interference immunity (DIN EN 61000‑6‑2) and emitted interference (DIN EN 61000‑6‑4), providing stable signal transmission in electrically noisy environments.
This 1:1 replacement solution offers consistent absolute feedback performance, dependable diagnostics, and straightforward installation for systems that require accurate position sensing with minimal integration effort.
