Mounting
4.1
Encoders with servo flange
This flange design offers two installation options:
•
Via the 3 threaded holes on the flange side.
•
With servo clamps on the servo groove.
4.1.1
Installation via threaded holes on the flange side
Lock the drive shaft on the application side. Mount the coupling (1) on the encoder;
ensure that it does not touch the encoder flange. Push the encoder, with mounted
coupling (1), onto the drive shaft and mounting spigot into the centring recess (2). Fix
the Encoder with 3 x M4 screws (3). Fix the coupling (1) to the drive shaft. The coupling
must not be subjected to any axial stresses. Make the electric connections with the
voltage switched off. Switch on the voltage and check the operation of the encoder.

4.1.2
Installation with servo clamps
Lock the drive shaft on the application side. Mount the coupling (1) on the encoder;
ensure that it does not touch the encoder flange. Mount the servo clamps (2) with M4
screws (3). Do not tighten screws, rotate the servo clamps such that the encoder flange
can be pushed into the centring recess. Push the encoder, with mounted coupling
(1), onto drive shaft and centring recess. Place the servo clamp (2), into the groove,
and tighten lightly. Fix the coupling (1) to the drive shaft. The coupling must not be
subjected to any axial stresses. Tighten all 3 screws of the servo clamps. Make the
electric connections with the voltage switched off. Switch on the voltage and check the
operation of the encoder.
