HEIDENHAIN RCN 700 / RCN 800 Series Absolute Angle Encoders
The HEIDENHAIN RCN 700 and RCN 800 series are absolute angle encoders with integral bearing, integrated stator coupling and a hollow through shaft (60 mm or 100 mm), used on machine tool rotary tables and swivel axes. Legacy series: they are no longer listed in HEIDENHAIN's current angle encoder catalog. Ask AMI about repair, replacement or sourcing for your exact unit; this page does not claim stock.
