Mounting instructions

Mounting instructions/Description

Extensive range of mounting accessories

for easy adaptation to many different shaft

diameters. Based on the functional principle

of RLC coupling, the encoder is immune

to magnetized metal splinters and other

interferences.

The adjacent figure shows the two separate

units, sensor and positioning element.

Mounting option A:

First, interconnect positioning element and

rotatable shaft with the bracket. Then place the

encoder above the rotating part in such a way

that you get a tight and protected unit.

Mounting option B:

Push the encoder on the back site of the shaft

and fasten it to the machine. Then clamp

the positioning element to the shaft with the

bracket.

Mounting option C:

If the positioning element is screwed on a

rotating machine part and not to a shaft, you

must first put on the dummy plug RA8-QR24.

Then tie up the bracket. Screw on the encoder

via the three bores.

 

When mounting, ensure that the positioning

element is correctly aligned towards the

sensor's active face. For correct fitting see

arrow on the edge of the positioning element.

(Arrow must point in direction of sensor)

 

Due to the separate installation of positioning

element and sensor no electrical currents or

harmful mechanical forces are transmitted via

the shaft to the sensor. The encoder also offers

a high degree of protection for life and stays

permanently sealed.

The accessories enclosed in the delivery help

to mount encoder and positioning element at an

optimal distance from each other. LEDs indicate

the switching status. Optionally, you can use

the shield plates which are included in the

accessories to increase the allowed distance

between positioning element and sensor.
