VIBRO KIT TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL 3.3.5 Couplings The right encoder is connected to the spring coupling which damps high accelerations but may cause an oscillation until the moving parts are equalized. Black round plate has a white dotted strap on it which you can read with the tacho sensor. Image 5: Flexible coupling on the right side The left encoder is connected to the rigid coupling which eliminates any oscillations in regard to the accelerating.
VIBRO KIT TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL 4 Possibilities of use 4.1 Super-counters Additional equipment: SIRIUS with at least one CNT module (ACC+, …). DewesoftX’s super-counters work on a 102.4 MHz internal time base, always, independent of the current sample rate. In comparison to standard counters, which only output whole numbers like 1,1,2,2,3,4, … one sample later, DewesoftX ®...
