Installation
Do not allow the rotary encoder to fall or expose it to strong vibrations. The rotary encoder is
a precision instrument.
Rotary encoders from Pepperl+Fuchs are robust; however, they should nevertheless be
protected against damage in ambient conditions by taking appropriate protective measures.
In particular, the devices must not be installed in a location where they could be misused as
a handle or climbing aid.
Do not make any alterations to the drive shaft or the housing of the rotary encoder.
Note!
For rotary encoders with solid shaft, the shaft must be connected to the drive shaft on the part
to be measured via a suitable coupling. The coupling is required to protect the drive shaft on
the rotary encoder against excessive levels of force, to compensate for shaft offset, and to
reduce the impact of vibrations. Suitable couplings are available as accessories from
Pepperl+Fuchs.
