GM400.Z98-C Wind Turbine Encoder Custom Replacement Solution
For the GM400.Z98-C encoder, we provide a professional customized replacement solution designed to meet the highest industry standards. Our engineering team offers a 1:1 non-standard customization option, ensuring full compatibility with the original installation dimensions and electrical interfaces. The production cycle is typically within 10–15 working days, which allows us to deliver products significantly faster than many original manufacturers. This short lead time is a major advantage for customers operating in the wind energy sector, where downtime and extended waiting periods can lead to costly delays. By choosing our customized replacement solution, clients benefit from reliable performance, stable supply, and a cost-effective alternative without compromising quality.
The GM400.Z98-C replacement encoder is designed for demanding wind turbine applications where absolute reliability and precision feedback are essential. Based on the Baumer GM400 series specifications, it is a multiturn encoder with SSI interface and employs an optical sensing method to ensure high accuracy and long-term stability. The encoder provides a maximum resolution of 14 bits per revolution for singleturn measurement and up to 16 bits for multiturn capability. It is equipped with a clamping flange for secure mechanical mounting and supports electronic zero-point setting for easy commissioning. Furthermore, it features a counting direction input and is available with additional incremental outputs if required. One of the critical benefits of this design is its maximum resistance against magnetic fields, which makes it highly suitable for environments exposed to electromagnetic interference, such as wind turbines, generators, and other heavy-duty industrial systems. With these characteristics, the encoder offers consistent and dependable performance under tough operating conditions, ensuring stable turbine operation and efficient energy generation.
