8. Mounting the encoder
8.1 General mounting advice
The encoder must not be disassembled or modi-
fied, either in total or in part.
No subsequent machining should be carried out
on the shaft (grinding, sawing, drilling, etc.). This
could impair the accuracy of the encoder and
damage the bearings and shaft seals. We would
be happy to accommodate your wishes.
Never try to align the encoder using a hammer
and never subject the encoder to impact shocks.
Do not subject the encoder shaft to loads (axial
or radial) that are higher than the values given in
the data sheet.
Do not rigidly connect the shafts and flanges of
the encoder and drive device. Always use a cou-
pling (between the drive shaft and the encoder
shaft, or between flange of the hollow shaft
encoder and the drive flange).
Unless otherwise specified, a friction coefficient
of 0.14 is assumed for all screw connections.
Unless otherwise specified, a strength class of
8.8 is assumed for the screws.
The encoder cable must be routed free from any
traction, so that no additional torque is applied
to the encoder. The minimum bending radii of
the cable are to be complied with.

Couplings are to be designed and
dimensioned, so that they meet the
requirements of DIN EN ISO 13849 or
so that any possible breakage of the
connection can be ruled out.
Depending on the specific use, the sta-
tor coupling/torque stop is subject to
reduced wear. Please refer to chapter
Maintenance and Repairs.
