Finding Alternatives for Discontinued Baumer Rotary Encoders

In the fast-paced world of motion control, the discontinuation of crucial components can pose significant challenges. One such challenge is the recent discontinuation of some Baumer absolute and incremental rotary encoders. These sensors are vital for precise position feedback in various applications, from robotics to defense and manufacturing. Fortunately, Everight Position specializes in providing solutions for obsolete and hard-to-source rotary and linear sensors, ensuring that your operations can continue seamlessly.

Understanding the Need for Alternatives

Baumer’s absolute and incremental rotary encoders have been renowned for their reliability and precision. However, with their discontinuation, industries that rely on these sensors may face disruptions in their production lines and processes. Finding suitable replacements is not just about sourcing similar products; it’s about ensuring compatibility, performance, and reliability.
