Application Note
The encoder is mechanically xed by means of holes in
adapters, which accommodate M3 threads. The encoder
has 2 adapters for attaching in a 3 x 120° and 4 x 90°
arrangement. For details, please refer to the mechanical
drawings in Figure 1.
The mechanical coupling of the encoder shaft is realised
by means of gear pinion with a module of 0.3, 14 teeth.
The zero positions of the coupling wheels are locked with
a plastic plug for alignment to the single turn absolute
encoder, with the coupling wheel being able to compen-
sate for an angle error of about +/-7°.
The electrical connection is realized by means of a 2 x 4
pin strip (1.27mm pitch), which is plugged into a corre-
sponding female connector.
The encoder is attached with a plastic plug that locks
the absolute zero position. During the mating of the
gear pinion and the encoder coupling gear wheel it may
be necessary to align the teeth of the gears for proper
matching. The plastic plug can be removed upon integra-
tion with the gear wheel.
