Cross-Referencing RENCO Incremental Encoders for Replacement
February 3, 2016
We have always been able to come up with a suitable replacement for Renco encoders, but our customers are making us aware that we need to point that out.
For those who don’t know, Renco, after being absorbed by Heidenhain, made the decision to eliminate much of their encoder product line. This move has left quite a few of their customers in the lurch. To help fill this need, we recently started promoting our ability to cross-reference Renco encoder lines on our web site with the rather obvious image you see above. Clicking on this image will take you to our Contact Us Form where you can let us know which Renco Encoder you are trying to cross.
Keep in mind that we can offer replacements of other encoder manufacturers as well!
As a general reference, the following Renco incremental encoder cross-reference table can show you which style of Quantum Devices Incremental Encoder or Commutation Encoder will likely work best.
| Renco Encoder | Quantum Devices Encoder |
| R35i (previous version) | QM35 |
| R35iB | QM35 |
| R35i (Gen 2) | QM35 or QM35 EZ-Comm |
| RCML15 (RCML 15) | QML35 |
| RCML15D4 | QML35 |
| R35iL | QML35 or QML35 EZ-Comm |
| R22i | QM22 |
| RHS15 | QR145 or QR12 |
| RM15 | QR145 or QR12 |
| RCH20 | QR145 or QR12 or QR200 |
| RHS20, RHS21 | QR145 or QR12 or QR200 |
| RM21 | QR145 or QR12 or QR200 |
| RCM21 | QR145 or QR12 or QR200 |
| RCH50 | QR145 or QR200 |
| R50i | QR145 or QR12 or QR200 |
| RA25 | QDH20 |
| RHDi | QDH20 |
| RS25 | QDH20 |
