FAQ

Q1: Is the A860-0372-T001 compatible with older GE spindle drives?
Yes, most GE Alpha-series drives support this encoder, although checking system revision is recommended.

Q2: Does the 1,000,000 PPR resolution affect controller load?
No, most GE CNC controllers handle this resolution efficiently without additional processing requirements.

Q3: Can this encoder operate in high-temperature environments?
Yes, the housing and internal components are designed for industrial thermal conditions, but proper ventilation improves longevity.

Q4: Is calibration required after installation?
Typically no, although verifying alignment ensures optimal signal clarity.

Q5: What should I check if the spindle feedback signal becomes unstable?
Inspect cable connections, ensure proper grounding, and verify that vibration dampening hardware is secure.
