This is an explosion-proof incremental encoder from Pepperl+Fuchs, model no:RVI58X-011K1R61N-01024 Unfortunately, this encoder model has been discontinued, which causes problems for many purchasing companies. Although the parameters that can be replaced by this model are not too few, this encoder belongs to the explosion-proof type, so that there are not many that can be replaced.
Since this is a discontinued model, this article will focus on the replacement solution. Our alternatives are more rigorous, using stainless steel versions to design mechanical solutions. This is different from the alternatives that have appeared on the market, because most of them are ordinary aluminum alloy shells, some of which do not meet the explosion-proof standards.
Below, we present customized alternatives.
Customized Alternatives Description
Let's take a look at the parameters of this encoder. The pulse will not be introduced, it is more obvious, it is 1024ppr. The outer diameter of the encoder is 58mm, the cam is 36mm, and the shaft diameter is 10mm. this is an ordinary incremental encoder parameter. The point of this encoder is: explosion-proof function. That means this is an explosion-proof incremental encoder.

Above, is the dimensional drawing of the encoder. We have a complete solution for this encoder. Both mechanical and electrical solutions are available in plain versions.
The difference is: our material is even better than the original encoder, which is made of stainless steel. For heavy-duty applications, the alternative encoders are better able to cope with complex working conditions.
Customization process and precautions
This encoder alternative is considered one of our main products. Therefore, we usually have more materials, and the delivery time is faster. Usually 7 working days are available for delivery.
The previous article said we are using the stainless steel material design alternatives, if some friends can not use the explosion-proof function can also produce aluminum alloy to help this. This in the order when the specific communication. In the case of electrical parameters remain unchanged, you can change the material of the product according to their own working conditions.
It's a response to theRVI58XOverall description of the encoder model -011K1R61N-01024. InRVI58XAmong the series of encoders, there are other models, which can be produced. The pulse range of the original encoder is 100-5000ppr and our alternatives can be produced.
As a discontinued model, there have been many inquiries recently. Sometimes it is because the customer will not match the replacement according to the model, so it causes the procurement trouble. Our alternative program is a direct parallel replacement of the product, do not need to do technical modification, direct installation and use can be.
