The MS101 designation and HS-D machine reference are the defining details of this X-axis read head. Unlike a general-purpose encoder accessory, the 03047212 is identified with a specific motion-system configuration, making the machine series and component reference central to replacement selection.
A read head works with a position-measuring scale to provide movement feedback. In an X-axis positioning system, this feedback helps the machine controller determine the position of the moving assembly. A visually similar read head should not be assumed interchangeable if its model or interface differs.
For customers maintaining HS-D equipment, we offer ASM SIPLACE spare-parts sourcing and can check the 03047212 reference against your requirements.
