4.2
Encoders with face mount flange
This flange design offers two installation options:
•
Via the threaded holes on the flange side.
•
By clamping the mounting spigot.
4.2.1
Installation via the threaded holes on the flange side
Lock the drive shaft on the application side. Mount the coupling (1); ensure that it does
not touch the encoder flange. Push the encoder, with mounted coupling (1), onto the
drive shaft and centring/clamping arrangement (3). Fix the encoder with 3 x M4 screws
(2), fix the coupling (1) to the drive shaft. The coupling must not be subjected to any
axial stresses. Make the electrical connections with the voltage switched off. Switch on
the voltage and check the operation of the encoder.

4.2.2
Installation via the mounting spigot
Since the mounting spigot is also the means of centring, the clamping device must
be constructed such that clamping firmly does not lead to an invalid angle or shaft
offset. Lock the drive shaft on the application side. Mount the coupling (1); ensure
that, when the shaft is rotated, it does not touch the encoder flange. Push the encoder,
with mounted coupling (1), onto the drive shaft, and the mounting spigot into the
clamping device (2). Clamp the encoder with the screw (3). Fix the coupling (1) on
the drive shaft. The coupling must not be subjected to any axial stresses. Make the
electrical connections with the voltage switched off. Switch on the voltage and check
the operation of the encoder.

4.3
Encoders with stator coupling for blind hollow shaft
Lock the drive shaft on the application side. Loosen the hexagonal screw (2) on the
clamping ring (1). Push the encoder and collet onto the drive shaft. Take note of
installation figure 6. Fix the stator coupling (3) with 4 x M3 screws (4) and washers.
Firmly tighten the hexagonal screw (2) on the clamping ring (1).
Tightening torque 1.1 Nm.
Make the electrical connections with the voltage switched off. Switch on the voltage and
check the operation of the encoder.
