For Encoder Mounting – Intermediate Flanges

Description

For encoder mounting

Intermediate flanges

  • Taylormade flange attachment of solid shaft encoders
  • Individual design options (flanged length / mechanical interface)
  • Corrosion-resistant aluminium housing
  • Options: Certified safety component to DIN EN ISO 13849-2 (PL e)

Intermediate flanges

The intermediate flanges are custom fit precisely according to the distance between the encoder flange and the application interface. In this way they guarantee the safety integrated mechanical attachment of the encoder to the machine housing. They are available as a standard accessory part and as a certified safety component. Individually sized spacer rings ensure the right mechanical interface between the flange and the machine housing.
