Attachment of measuring units
a) Use the magnetic fixtures to attach the measuring units to the
shafts. If the shafts are in good condition, only the magnetic
fixture is required. When using the magnetic fixture always try to
place it on the shaft and press it against the coupling. If the shafts
are not in good condition or if the fixtures are not sufficiently
secured to them, use the chains. Make sure that the M-marked
unit is attached to the Movable machine and the S-marked unit to
the Stationary machine. For diameters larger than 150 mm, if
chains are still needed an accessory extension chain (TMEA C2)
is required.
If it is not possible to attach the fixtures directly to the shafts (e.g. in
case of space problems) the fixtures can be attached to the coupling.
Note!
It is highly recommended to position the measuring units at equal
distance from the middle of the coupling.
