What are Brass Optical Encoders?
Our brass optical encoders are sold as “replacement” equipment for cracked, broken, or warped plastic original equipment. In fact, many customers are purchasing our encoder BEFORE their plastic encoder fails.
Why Are They Better?
Brass Encoders are milled from solid brass rod by a mechanical engineer and then laser cut to exacting standards. They are guaranteed to last a lifetime.
What Equipment Do They Fit?
60 Slot Brass Encoders fit ALL G25 and OLD G27 (Green Box) and OLD Driving Force GT
30 Slot Brass Encoders fit NEW G27 (Blue Box) and NEW Driving Force GT
The two are NOT interchangeable. Please make sure you know which one you have before you order.
Why Should I Buy One?
Brass Encoders are sold as a “do it yourself” project meant to replace the original plastic equipment. Using our Brass Optical Encoder to replace the original plastic equipment guarantees your wheel won't ever fail due to faulty encoder.
It is not hard, but it does take some “handy” skills, and patience. I guarantee that your encoder will work, if you install it correctly and properly.
What About My Logitech Warranty?
Brass Encoders should only be installed on equipment that has outlived its original factory warranty. We do NOT recommend opening your wheel if it is still under warranty. If your wheel is still under warranty, please contact Logitech for service.
Some People Complained It Didn't Fit. Why?
Eighty percent of customers find their encoders fit just out of the box. However, the spindles on the FFB motors are NOT all the same size. Therefore, the encoder you purchase may not fit perfectly on the first try. You may need to do some adjustment. I know this after four years and many hundreds of satisfied customers.
1. If it is too tight, use a little high-grit sandpaper on a toothpick to gently remove a little bit of metal inside the encoder, and try to fit it on. It must be a tight fit, but shouldn’t require a jack-hammer to get it on. Gentle push with your finger should do the trick. Patience, Grasshopper, patience!
2. If it is a little loose, you’ll need to get some “Loc-tite” glue from your local autoparts store. This glue is designed to be used in high heat environments like automobile engines. This is less than 1% of cases.
