For systems equipped with the GA241.B10C102 model, we offer a precise parallel absolute encoder 1:1 replacement solution for direct interchangeability. The replacement encoder replicates the original unit’s electrical characteristics, parallel output structure, mechanical dimensions, and functional interfaces, enabling installation without hardware modifications or software adjustments.
From a technical perspective, GA241.B10C102 is a singleturn optical parallel encoder providing 13-bit absolute position information via 13 parallel outputs. It delivers stable and repeatable code output with high absolute accuracy, ensuring immediate availability of position data after power-up. The encoder supports Gray or binary code, configurable rotation direction by wiring, and integrated control inputs (ENABLE, STORE, ZERO, UP/DOWN) for controlled and flexible system-level operation. Push-pull short-circuit-proof outputs combined with internal self-diagnostic functions, including code continuity checks, enhance reliability in demanding industrial conditions.


Mechanically, the encoder is built in a compact Ø58 mm aluminum housing, with optional shaft sealing for enhanced protection. Designed to operate reliably under vibration, shock, high humidity, and extreme temperatures, it is suitable for continuous-duty industrial applications. Verified functional equivalence and mechanical compatibility make this 1:1 parallel encoder replacement a dependable long-term alternative for the GA241.B10C102 model.
