Today, let's discuss an alternative solution for TWK encoders, specifically focusing on the model: CRD58-8192R4096C2Z01.
This topic arises from the procurement difficulties of the TWK CRD58 series models, which may not be problematic in other countries but is indeed a challenge in China. Many steel and aluminum companies face significant challenges when procuring these encoders.

As an encoder service provider, we have been entrusted by several metallurgical companies to custom-manufacture alternative encoder products that match this specific model.If you have the same needs, you can get in touch with the blogger, and we are happy to help.
First, let's take a look at the product introduction of this TWK encoder.
This is an encoder with a Profibus-DP communication protocol, featuring an outer diameter of 58mm.

As shown in the diagram, this TWK encoder has an outer installation diameter of 58mm and a shaft size of 6mm.
Resolution: 8192 positions revolution, max.
Measuring range: 4096 revolutions

The following image shows the alternative solution we have introduced.
Our replacement encoder maintains the same installation dimensions and functional parameters while reducing the overall length of the encoder. This encoder has been extensively tested in metallurgical facilities and has demonstrated excellent precision and stability.
For this, we also provide corresponding Cable Pull Sensor Box with measurement ranges of 2m, 3m, 5m, 10m, and more.

Used for cable measurement in traction systems with 6mm shaft servo flanges or 10mm shaft clamping flanges.
At this point, our product can seamlessly replace the entire TWK Seilzugsensor. It has delivered excellent results in practical applications, especially in the cost-effective environment prevalent in China, making it highly favored by our customers.
