Different Ways of Mounting the Absolute Angular Encoder

Absolute angular encoder with solid shaft

The solid shaft enables torsion resistant mounting and is actually so ordinary, that there is not much more to write about. But we do not only have them plain, but also with flat or pin/groove and in both US and metric dimensions.

Clamping brackets – The fixation of the angular encoder to the machine can be done by ...
... clamping of the flange
... direct screwing of the flange
... screwing of clamping brackets that are fixed to the flange (see picture)
... screwing of servo clamps that are fixed to the flange

(For each of these methods a centering collar with a suitable fit centers the encoder in relation to the shaft)

Absolute angular encoder with hollow shaft

The hollow (through) shaft is available as plain shaft or with pin/groove. Up to 80 mm shaft diameter, depending on the device type.

... pin/groove axial (also with pin on customer side) with clamping ring (on the front or rear)
... pin/groove radial with clamping ring (on the front or rear)
... torque holder with clamping ring (on the front or rear) (see picture)

Absolute angular encoder with blind shaft

The blind shaft is available as plain shaft or with pin/groove. In contrast to a hollow shaft, the blind shaft has the advantage of only one opening, that has to be sealed. Therefore it is generally more suitable for high rotation speeds.

Absolute angular encoder with integrated coupling

Combines torsion resistant mounting of a solid shaft with the compact design of a blind shaft. Vibrations and shaft eccentricity are balanced by a cross coupling element made of plastic (PUR).

The fixation of the angular encoder to the machine can be done by ...
... coupling with a PUR coupling element that is integrated in the encoder

TR-Electronic constructs and manufactures the magnet holder custom fit for your application and delivers it with a built-in magnet. The example shows a magnet holder pressed into the face sided drilling 6h7 (7 mm deep) of the shaft, order no.: 49-150-092.

The magnet holder is not part of delivery. Please order this item separately. Magnet holders in other sizes will be designed and delivered according to customers specifications. About position and concentricity tolerance, find more in the individual data sheets.
