Description
Product Overview
The FANUC A860-0382-T124 is a magnetic absolute pulse coder (encoder) integrated with amplifier, designed for FANUC αi series servo motors in CNC machining centers, lathes and milling machines. It delivers high-resolution real-time angular position and rotational speed feedback to the FANUC CNC control system, ensuring precise closed-loop motion control. This encoder adopts magnetic sensing technology, offering superior resistance to oil mist, dust and vibration compared with traditional optical encoders. The suffix T124 defines the built-in cable length, shielding structure and connector specification for direct matching with FANUC servo amplifier units. It serves as a drop-in replacement spare part for industrial CNC automation maintenance.
