The FGH40SS-2048G-90G-NG/20P is a heavy-duty incremental encoder widely used in metallurgical processes, steel rolling lines, and other demanding industrial automation systems. As the original model becomes increasingly difficult to obtain, we offer a fully customized 1:1 replacement solution. Our replacement precisely matches the original encoder’s mechanical dimensions, shaft size, pulse resolution, and electrical output, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems without the need for modifications. With an efficient production process, we are able to provide short delivery times, helping customers quickly overcome sourcing difficulties and maintain uninterrupted industrial operations.
In industrial applications, the FGH40SS-2048G-90G-NG/20P is valued for its reliability, precision, and durability under harsh conditions, including vibration, temperature fluctuations, and dust exposure. Our replacement encoders preserve these critical performance characteristics while offering flexibility for non-standard requirements, such as customized shafts, connectors, or mounting options. This makes them an ideal solution for rolling mills, heavy-duty drives, and automated steel production equipment, providing stable and accurate feedback for continuous operation in challenging environments.
