Encoders: Installation guidelines
Encoders have two basic designs - solid shaft and hollow shaft. Installation of each is slightly different.
Solid shaft encoders require a coupling to connect the encoder to the rotating shaft.
Hollow shaft encoders mount directly to the rotating shaft and are held in place by a set screw.
ifm offers a variety of couplings, measuring wheels and other accessories that can be found with all our accessories.
