A variety of mounting conditions can be accommodated.
Mechanical configuration of the equipment determines brackets
and adapters required to install the linear encoder.
Three typical conditions are shown; flush, offset, and backup spar
mounting.
Mounting surfaces offset.
Installation without backup spar.
Use leveling set screws to eliminate spacers and shims.
Mounting surfaces flush within .005.
Reading head leveling set screws typically not required.
Flush or offset mounting surfaces with a backup spar.
Reading head bracket to reduce head mounting surface gap.
Use reading head leveling set screws.
