Red Lion Controls RPGC0061 Rotary Encoder Module

Red Lion Controls RPGC0061 Rotary Encoder Module is a rotary pulse generator that delivers 61 pulses per revolution and is part of Red Lion’s RPGC encoder family. This shaft-mounted device uses a 3/8 inch output shaft and measures 1-1/8 inch in length, enabling compact installation in equipment where space is at a premium. The RPGC0061 designation identifies the 61 PPR variant within the RPGC line; the family also includes RPGC0001 with 60 PPR, illustrating the range of pulse-count options offered by Red Lion. The model is listed as discontinued by the manufacturer in 2011, placing it among older Red Lion encoder offerings still encountered in legacy control systems. In Red Lion’s documentation, RPGC encoders are described as rotary pulse generators, with newer designs in the ZCG/ZFG/ZGG families indicated as replacements, signaling the platform's evolution while preserving the core pulse-generation function.
