For Encoder Mounting – Torque Brackets for Rotary Encoders

Description

For encoder mounting

Torque brackets

  • Optimized output signals by compensating inaccuracies
  • Maintenance-free and corrosion proof version
  • Individual custom-fit design
  • Options: Certified safety component to DIN EN ISO 13849-2 (PL e) and isolated version

Torque brackets

The torque brackets compensate tolerances resulting from radial eccentricity of the drive shaft, radial eccentricity resulting from backlash and axial movement of the drive shaft when attaching hollow shaft encoders. They are fitted with maintenance-free and corrosion proof high-performance link heads and torque bracket rods; the lever length and mechanical interface are customized to meet application requirements. They are also available as certified safety components, if required.
