For systems equipped with the GA240.A106102 model, we provide a precise parallel absolute encoder 1:1 replacement solution designed for direct compatibility. The replacement encoder mirrors the original device in electrical characteristics, output structure, mechanical dimensions, and functional interfaces, enabling installation without mechanical modification or software adjustment and minimizing downtime during replacement.
Technically, GA240.A106102 is a singleturn optical parallel encoder delivering 13-bit absolute position information through 13 parallel outputs. The encoder offers high absolute accuracy and stable code transmission, ensuring reliable position data immediately after power-up. Support for Gray or binary coding, configurable rotation direction via wiring, and integrated control inputs (ENABLE, STORE, ZERO, UP/DOWN) allow seamless integration into existing control architectures. Short-circuit-protected push-pull output stages, combined with internal self-diagnostics and continuous code continuity checks, enhance reliability in electrically demanding environments.


From a mechanical and environmental perspective, the encoder features a compact 58 mm aluminum housing, optional shaft sealing, and flexible electrical connection options via connector or cable. It is designed to operate reliably under vibration, shock, high humidity, and extended temperature ranges typical of industrial applications. With verified electrical equivalence and mechanical compatibility, this 1:1 parallel encoder replacement provides a stable and long-term alternative for the GA240.A106102 model.
