JR12 Jam Nut Mount Optical Encoder

Design Features:

  • Replaces Size 15 Pancake Resolver
  • Bearing design simplifies encoder attachment
  • Resolutions up to 20,000 lines per revolution
  • 4, 6 or 8 pole commutation
  • Eliminates expensive mounting servo clamps
  • Accommodates resolver type ¼” threaded shafts
  • High Noise Immunity
  • Cost Competitive with Modular Encoders
  • 500 kHz Frequency Response
  • RoHS Construction

Description:
Quantum Devices, Inc. Model JR12 provides an improved feedback solution in applications typically using pancake resolvers with same threaded shaft and jam nut mounting. With an over all height of less than one inch and the stability of a bearing encoder design, the model JR12 can provide significant performance upgrades in applications limited by traditional resolvers or modular encoder solutions. Output options consist of a quadrature with index pulse and three-phase commutation. A flexible member allows for much greater tail shaft run out and TIR than can be tolerated by modular encoder designs, plus the mounting flange eliminates the need for expensive servo mounting clips.

For brushless motors requiring commutation timing:

  • Encoder drawings indicate position of encoder hub to encoder body at Z (index). Rotating the hub to this position allows for known U channel transition state, prior to assembling to motor shaft.
  • Power appropriate motor windings to lock motor shaft location to match the appropriate U transition, prior to assembly to motor shaft.
  • Flex mount screws can be loosened to allow rotation of encoder body. While mechanically back driving the motor, monitor motor winding EMF position to the powered encoder commutation position. Rotate the encoder body to achieve accurate timing of encoder commutation feedback channels to the appropriate motor winding EMF. Mounting slots in encoder flex mount allow for 30 mechanical degrees of rotation. Retighten the flex mount screws.
