Encoder Mounting and Assembly
Assembly process for AEDM-58xx and AEDM-59xx
1. Slide the alignment tool onto the motor shaft. With alignment tool in place, mount encoder baseplate onto motor
as shown above. Ensure that the holes in the baseplate align with the mounting holes in the motor body. Inset and
tighten mounting screws* and remove alignment tool.
2. Snap encoder body onto base plate locking all 4 snaps.
4. Use the center screwdriver slot, or either of the two side slots, to rotate the encoder cap dot clockwise from the one
dot position to the two dot position. Do not rotate the encoder cap counterclockwise beyond the one dot position.
The encoder is ready for use!
* Adhesive should applied to the screw-baseplate interface to prevent screws loosening due to eect of vibration and high temperature on plastic.
High temperature rated adhesive such as Hernon Ultra 317 is recommended.
** The recommended torque to tighten the setscrew is 15-18 ozf.inch.
3a. Inset the hex wrench into the body of the encoder. Ensure that it is properly seated into the code wheel hub set
screws. Then apply a downward force on the end of the hex wrench. This sets the code wheel gap by levering the
code wheel hub to its upper position.
3b. While continuing to apply a downward force, rotate the hex wrench in the clockwise direction until the hub set
screw is tight** against the motor shaft. The hub set screw attaches the code wheel to the motor's shaft.
3c. Remove the hex wrench by pulling it straight out of the encoder body.
