Cross-Referencing & Sourcing Retrofit Guides — Bearingless Absolute Encoder Replacement Reference

The EPOCH RS Series bearingless absolute encoders are designed as modular split-type alternatives for a range of servo motor feedback applications. The 35mm models (RSH3506/RSL3506) share a similar compact form factor suitable for small motor integration, while the 43mm models (RSH4308/RSL4308, RSH4306/RSL4306) offer a larger footprint with 6mm or 8mm shaft bore options. High-profile (RSH) and low-profile (RSL) variants provide installation flexibility. Engineers should verify shaft bore dimensions, mounting configuration, and profile height requirements before specifying.

⚠️ Trademark & Safety Notice:

EPOCH is an independent encoder manufacturer. Verify all mechanical and electrical parameters before integration.

Technical FAQs — RS Series Bearingless Absolute Encoder

Q: What is the difference between RSH (high profile) and RSL (low profile)?

RSH denotes the high-profile version and RSL denotes the low-profile version of the same bearingless absolute encoder model. Both share identical electrical specifications and shaft bore options; the difference is in the housing height for mechanical fitment flexibility.

Q: What are the available sizes in the RS Series?

Three size groups: RSH/RSL4308 (43mm OD, 8mm shaft), RSH/RSL4306 (43mm OD, 6mm shaft), and RSH/RSL3506 (35mm OD, 6mm shaft). Each available in high (RSH) or low (RSL) profile.

Q: What resolution does the RS Series support?

The RS Series supports selectable 17-bit (131,072 steps) or 23-bit (8,388,608 steps) single-turn resolution with a 16-bit multi-turn counter, communicated via RS485 at 2.5MHz.
