3.1. Mechanical mounting
Shaft encoders
Mount the encoder using the mounting holes in the encoder flange and fitting screws. Observe thread
diameter and depth.
There is an alternative mounting option in any angular position by eccentric fixings available as an
accessory.
Connect drive shaft and encoder shaft by using an appropriate coupling. The shaft ends must not touch
each other. The coupling must compensate temperature and mechanical tolerances. Observe the
maximum permitted axial or radial shaft load. For appropriate couplings please refer to accessories.
Tighten the mounting screws firmly.
Hollow shaft encoders
Mounting by clamping ring
Prior to mounting the encoder open the clamping ring completely. Push encoder onto the drive shaft and
tighten the clamping ring firmly.
Adjusting element with rubber buffer
Push the encoder onto the drive shaft and insert the cylindrical pin into the adjusting element (customer-
mounted) and the rubber buffer.
Spring washer
Fasten the spring washer at the mounting holes of the encoder housing using screws. Push the encoder
onto the drive shaft and mount the spring washer to the contact surface.
3.2. Electrical connection
3.2.1. Cabling
EtherNet/IP utilizes Fast Ethernet cables (100 Mbit/s, Cat. 5).
