This incremental rotary encoder is developed as a precise 1:1 customized replacement for the RVI78N-10CALA31N-00015 model, designed to match original mechanical dimensions, shaft type, flange configuration, and electrical output characteristics. It delivers stable incremental feedback suitable for motion control and industrial automation systems, providing reliable signal performance for positioning and speed sensing applications. The robust design ensures long-term durability in continuous operation environments and allows seamless integration into existing equipment without modification.
To support expedited project timelines and reduce downtime, this encoder solution can be delivered with a short lead time of approximately 10–15 working days, even for tailored specifications. Key parameters such as resolution, output interface, operating voltage range, and connector options can be matched to exact system requirements. This 1:1 customized replacement approach simplifies procurement, enhances supply chain flexibility, and ensures dependable operation for both upgrade and new installation projects.


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.
