Load gear
● Consider load gear and leadscrew pitch for encoder evaluation
● Number of motor revolutions / number of load revolutions
Position parameter
● Leadscrew pitch (select "Consider load gear and leadscrew pitch for encoder evaluation")
● Leadscrew pitch (select "Consider load gear and leadscrew pitch for encoder evaluation")
● Distance per encoder revolution
Rotary - On the motor shaft
The encoder is firmly mechanically connected with the motor shaft. Motor and encoder form
a unit.
Load gear
● Number of motor revolutions / number of load revolutions
Rotary - On the load side
The encoder is mechanically connected with the load side of the gear.

6.6 Configuring the positioning axis/synchronous axis technology object
Activate the check box, if you want to perform the configuration based on the gear ratio
and the leadscrew pitch.
Deactivate the check box, if you want to perform the configuration based on the motor
revolution and the resulting distance.
The gear ratio of the load gear is specified as the ratio between motor revolutions and
load revolutions. Specify here an integral number of motor revolutions and the resulting
number of load revolutions.
Select the same values for the number of motor revolutions and load revolutions, if no
load gear is present.
In this field, configure the distance by which the load is moved when the leadscrew
makes one revolution.
In this field, configure the distance by which the load is moved when the motor makes
one revolution.
In this field, configure the distance recorded by the external measuring system per
encoder revolution.
The gear ratio of the load gear is specified as the ratio between motor revolutions and
load revolutions. Specify here an integral number of motor revolutions and the resulting
number of load revolutions.
Select the same values for the number of motor revolutions and load revolutions, if no
load gear is present.
