Mounting Kits With Incremental Encoders For Motors

Wachendorff Automation offers Mounting Kits with Incremental Encoders for motors. These are easy to mount on all motor shafts, a cost-effective solution for modernisation and servicing needs. Incremental hollow shaft encoders are used in drive motors, particularly in the fields of lift construction, crane technology and wind energy. Drive motors that are controlled directly only work optimally at their nominal rotational speed. In order to generate a suitable level of torque as soon as the motor starts running, special switches are used in the motor (such as the Y-? transformation). Through the use of converters, the torque of a drive can be used more productively as soon as the drive is started up and over a wider speed range. In order to be able to make use of converters with older motors, an incremental encoder is needed to determine the rotational speed. It can usually be mounted on the shaft behind the motor. It can usually be mounted behind the motor, on the shaft. With solid shaft encoders and hollow shaft encoders, a mechanical connection between the encoder and the motor shaft is created using a shaft adapter with the appropriate threaded hole. Depending on the design of the encoder, the shaft adapter is connected to the encoder either directly or via a flexible double loop coupling. These mounting kits offer the highest level of flexibility. In addition to an encoder, the mounting kit also includes a set of shaft adapters with the main thread diameters and a ready-to-use connection cable. The mounting kit for the solid shaft encoder also includes a mounting angle and a double loop coupling.
