Jeg har et defekt opto modul fra en Usdigital encoder, type nr EM1-1-32. Hvad kan erstatte denne type af f.eks Broadcom encodere?

Hello carloginge,

Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum! Although we do not carry the EM1-1-32; I suggest taking a look [HERE](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/encoders/507?s=N4IgjCBcoCwdIDGUBmBDANgZwKYBoQB7KAbRAGYBOMGGADhAKppgFYQBdAgBwBcoQAZV4AnAJYA7AOYgAvgQBMrBgmSR02fEVIg4YMKwWce-SENGSZ8kAoDsANiig1G3AWKQyCgAx17lSmMQPgFhcWk5JkpyJyRUTDdtTwo6BQUqIJCzMMtI8Eo6QNV4zXcdb05rAFoi5yhRAFctDzIIDmqjYshG5p1A9utOsgAjEUI0ABNEQgBbAAIcCWmJnBFKoA) to see if any of these will work for you. The main thing with the EM1-1-32 is that the resolution is determined by the disk/tape you are using. I’m not certain if these will read the same discs, but they’re your best shot at a replacement that I can find.

Hej carloginge,

Velkommen til DigiKey TechForum! Selvom vi ikke bærer EM1-1-32; Jeg foreslår, at du tager et kig [HER](https://www.digikey.dk/en/products/filter/encoders/507?s=N4IgjCBcoCwdIDGUBmBDANgZwKYBoQB7KAbRAGYBOMGGADhAKppgFYQBdAgBwBcoQAZV4AnAJYA7AOYgAvgQBMrBgmSR02fEVIg4YMKwWce-SENGSZ8kAoDsANiig1G3AWKQyCgAx17lSmMQPgFhcWk5JkpyJyRUTDdtTwo6BQUqIJCzMMtI8Eo6QNV4zXcdb05rAFoi5yhRAFctDzIIDmqjYshG5p1A9utOsgAjEUI0ABNEQgBbAAIcCWmJnBFKoA) for at se, om nogen af ​​disse vil virke for dig. Det vigtigste med EM1-1-32 er, at opløsningen bestemmes af den disk/tape du bruger. Jeg er ikke sikker på, om disse vil læse de samme diske, men de er dit bedste skud på en erstatning, som jeg kan finde.
