WARNING 

The  moving wheel  may  inflict  injury.  The  operator  should  ensure  the 
safety of personnel who may be exposed to this hazard.  

3.2.4 

Mounting the Wheel Cover

 

 

 

WARNING 

The  wheel  cover  is  provided  for  safety  and  its  installation  is 
encouraged. The Chopper wheel can cause injury if it is touched while 
rotating.  This  is  especially  critical  if  you  find  yourself  reaching  into 
your  optical  set-up  with  the  lights  off.  You  may  want  to  use  the 
Chopper wheel cover to reduce the chance of injury. 

 

The  wheel  cover  attaches  to  the  Chopper  Head  with  four  screws.  The  wheel 
cover  is  made  of  0

.031”  (0.80  mm)  aluminum  with  an  anti

-reflective  black 

anodized coating. Two concentric slots, etched in both faces of the cover, allow 
apertures  of  various  sizes  according  to  the  table  below.  The  wheel  cover 

dimensions are 5” x 5” x 0.5”.

The  wheel  cover  is  also  provided  to  reduce  the  generation  of  stray  light  that 
could interfere with your measurements. The Chopper head uses an IR sensor to 
detect  Chopper  wheel  motion.  The  source  in  this  sensor  emits  light  of 
approximate  wavelength  950  nm.  The  wheel  cover  will  greatly  reduce  the 
amount of sensor-radiated stray IR light picked up by your experiment detector.  

To install the wheel cover, first install a wheel on the Chopper hub. Then, slide 
the  wheel  cover  over  the  wheel.  Please  note  that  it  can  require  some  force  to 

separate  the  wheel  cover’s  mounting  flanges  far  enough  to  fit  over  the  motor 

housing. Once the mounting flanges are lowered past the motor, align one of the 
four flange holes with a threaded hole in the motor base and loosely attach the 
cover to the base with one of the 4-

40 x 3/8” mount

ing screws. Loosely fasten 

the three remaining screws. Tighten the four screws after they are installed.
