Synchro-Clamps
Synchro clamps are used
with servo-style bearing
housings ("E" style hous-
ings on the encoder
model number designa-
tion) to hold the face of
the encoder against a
mounting plate. Clamps are
placed at a radius slightly larger
than the encoder mounting flange,
(see illustration below) and allow for rotational alignment
of the encoder during installation for machine set-up.

MS3106 MATING CONNECTORS
(Used on Incremental Encoders)
These have sealed conductors and are screw-on, military-style
connectors with solder cups on the back of the pins (can accept
up to 16 gage wire) and a built-in clamping strain relief. The
environmentally sealed backshell is waterproof.

Cable Assemblies for Incremental Encoders
Cable assemblies for incremental encoders are built using high quality custom BEI
Standard Cable (P/N 37048-003) consisting of four, low capacitance shielded
twisted pairs with an overall shield, extra large conductors for power and
signal ground all within an abrasion-resistant PVC jacket. Size 16 and
18 cable assemblies utilize a waterproof and UV resistant over-molded
backshell.

Couplings
Couplings are high performance, helical-cut beam style providing the best combina-
tion of torsional rigidity and compensation for shaft misalignment. They are made
of aluminum and are iridite coated to resist chemical attack.

2. Setscrews: Cup point, hex socket, #6-32. Two at each end, 90º apart.
3. Permitted axial motion from free length: ±.020
4. Permissible shaft alignment: Angular up to 5º; Parallel up to .010"
Installation note:
To avoid coupling failure, be sure the shafts fit freely in the coupling bores and that the
coupling is not compressed or subjected to greater deflections than specified above.

Measuring Wheel
This measuring wheel uses an 80 durometer urethane rolling surface vulcanized to an
aluminum hub and then machined to a circumference of 12 inches. It is designed to be used
with shafts of a nominal 3/8" diameter and should be installed with the hub side facing
away from the encoder housing. Maximum recommended load in service is 15 pounds to
avoid overloading the encoder bearings.

Protective Housing for Hollow-Shaft Encoders
This cage is designed to protect hollow-shaft style encoders from mechanical damage
during handling and installation. It is used with either the HS25 or the HS35 encoder and
has a side cutout to allow for tether arm placement. This cover has been designed to
accept a NEMA56 standard motor face mount and can be used with either through-shaft or
blind shaft styles of encoders. Protective cover kits come with installation hardware.
