  Mounting of Rotary Encoders with Stator Coupling
   
  ERN/ECN/EQN absolute rotary encoders have integral bearings and externally mounted stator couplings. Their shaft is directly connected to the shaft to be measured. During angular acceleration of the shaft, the stator coupling carries only that torque resulting from friction in the bearing. In this way, the stator coupling compensates radial runout and misalignment without significantly reducing accuracy. The externally mounted stator coupling tolerates axial motion in the drive shaft up to:
 
ERN/ECN/EQN 400   ± 1 mm
ERN 1000   ± 0.5 mm
ERN/ ECN 100   ± 1.5 mm
 
 
 
   Mounting Procedure
       
  The mounting procedure is very simple:
 
The encoder shaft is slid onto the drive shaft and fastened with two screws and eccentric clamps on the flange side of the encoder. Short shaft ends can be fastened on the flange side of the encoder; with hollow-shaft encoders and long shaft ends, the shaft can be fastened on the housing side.
 
Rotary encoders of the ERN/ECN/EQN 1300 series with mounted stator coupling and taper shaft are particularly well suited for repeated mounting (see brochure entitled Position Encoders for Servo Drives). The stator is connected without a centering collar on a flat surface. For dynamic applications such as servo motors, it is recommended that the shaft be fastened at the flange and the coupling be fastened with four cap screws or, for the ERN 1000, with special washers (see Mounting Accessories) to attain the highest possible natural frequency fN of the system.

If the encoder shaft is subject to high loads from friction wheels, pulleys, or sprockets, HEIDENHAIN recommends mounting the ERN/ECN/EQN 400 with a bearing assembly (see Mounting Accessories).
