Description:
Encoder Model HR12 provides an improved feedback solution in applications typically using modular encoders. The HR12 provides feedback capabilities where the others leave off – high line count resolution, high temperature operation, rugged bearing construction, large tolerance to radial and axial shaft play, commutation for brushless motor control, with a strain relieved cable. Quadrature output with index pulse and three-phase commutation provided with industrial 26C31 differential drivers. A flexible member allows for much greater tail shaft run out and TIR than can be tolerated by modular encoder designs, plus it provides 30 degrees of rotation for commutation timing.

ENCODER INSTALLTION INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Mount Encoder Base Plate to motor face with either 0-80 screw 3 places on .823” circle or 2-56 screw 2 places on .750” circle.
  2. Using two fingers slide encoder onto motor shaft (do not force). Encoder height proper when top of connector body as same elevation as top of Base Plate screw stems. Tighten encoder hub set screws using .050” hex wrench.
  3. Install #4-40 x 3/16 hex pan head through stainless steel flex mount into Base Plate.
  4. Install cable assembly into encoder. 5. Secure encoder cover

For brushless motors requiring commutation timing:

  • Prior to step 2: Rotate hub to zero index position shown in Output Waveform section, if required for initial commutation positioning. Power appropriate motor windings to lock motor shaft location to matching U transition.
  • Prior to step 5: Flex mount screw can be loosened to allow final commutation timing adjustment. Rotate encoder to match commutation signals to back driven EMF motor windings. Retighten flex mount screw.
