Five steps let you know how to select your encoder:
1.If you’ve already used encoders with other brands, plz feel free to send us the information of the brand info and encoder info, like model no, etc, our engineer will advise you with our euqivalent replacement at a high cost performance;
2.If you want to find an encoder for your application, plz first select encoder type: 1) Incremental encoder 2) Absolute encoder 3) Draw Wire Sensors 4) Manual Pluse Generator
3. Choose your output format(NPN/PNP/LINE DRIVER/PUSH PULL for incremental encoder) or interfaces(Parallel, SSI, BISS, Modbus, CANopen, Profibus, DeviceNET, Profinet, EtherCAT, Power Link, Modbus TCP);
4. Select the resolution of the encoder, Max.50000ppr for Gertech incremental encoder, Max.29bits for Gertech Absolute Encoder;
5. Select the housing Dia and shaft dia. of the encoder;
Gertech is popular equivalent replacement for similar foreign products such as Sick/Heidenhain/Nemicon/Autonics/ Koyo/Omron/Baumer /Tamagawa/Hengstler /Trelectronic/Pepperl+Fuchs/Elco/Kuebler ,ETC.
