HEIDENHAIN ERO 785 Incremental Modular Angle Encoder

The HEIDENHAIN ERO 785 is an incremental modular angle encoder with a circular scale on a hub and a scanning unit, for rotary axes that need a compact, high-speed angle measurement. Ask AMI about repair, replacement or sourcing for your exact unit; availability and the right replacement path are confirmed before quoting. This page does not claim stock. Legacy model: it is no longer listed in HEIDENHAIN's current modular angle encoder catalog.
