Lifetime of an Encoder and the Encoder Required Maintenance！

The lifetime of an encoder is dependent on various factors such as environmental exposure and application use. By limiting the exposure of the encoder to electrical equipment, temperatures above recommended values, condensation, and vibration and shock, and using the encoder as directed by the manufacturer can extend the lifetime of an encoder.

Encoders require very little maintenance due to their ruggedness and reliability. However, it is recommended to minimize an encoders exposure to dust particles or debris and also, unless designed for exposure to water or moisture. Also, under duress of shock and vibrations, encoder discs may become scratched resulting in encoder failure. If such an event occurs, the disc may need to be replaced to provide accurate readings.
