3.5.3 Shaft Encoder Installation Instructions
STEPS:
1. Select the transport conveyor shaft on the drive end of the belt for encoder installation.
2. Drill and tap the conveyor shaft that the encoder coupling will be mounted to. The
encoder shaft is 9.5mm (3
/8”) diameter.
3. Each mounting location is different so a custom designed bracket will need to be
designed. Fabricate a bracket to mount the shaft encoder over the conveyor shaft.
4. Mount the shaft encoder to the fabricated bracket. Next, align the shaft of the encoder
with the conveyor shaft and mark the location for the mounting holes.
5. Secure the 3/8 in shaft coupling to conveyor and encoder shafts.
