Mounting with Module

Side A as the Mounting

Plane

Mounting a high resolution or

three channel encoder with

Module Side A as the mounting

plane requires alignment pins in

the motor base. These alignment

pins provide the necessary

centering of the module with

respect to the center of the motor

shaft. In addition to centering, the

codewheel gap is also important.

Please refer to the respective

encoder data sheet for necessary

mounting information.

*Please note that the image side of the codewheel must always be facing the module Side A.

mounting the module with side B

as the mounting plane. When

assembling the encoder and

codewheel, it is important to

maintain the tolerances of Side A

of the module, and the image side

of the codewheel. See module

Data Sheets for these tolerances.

Encoders with

Codewheels

There are two orientations for

mounting the Agilent encoder

module and Agilent codewheel.

Figure 1a shows mounting the

module with side A as the

Assembly Tools

Agilent offers centering tools and

gap setting tools only for the case

when the module is mounted with

Side B down. Please refer to the

Ordering Information Table to

choose the correct assembly

tools.
