Removing/installing conical encoders and encoder mounting adapters for conical encoders

INFORMATION

For EK8Z, EK9Z, AK8Z encoders, work on the MOVILINK® DDI communication unit is not permitted. Place an order with SEW-EURODRIVE Service to have any necessary work on the encoder performed.

The integrated encoder plug connector (parts [U] and [619]) can be turned ± 180 degrees in steps of 90° to allow for a variable cable outlet of the connection cover [619]. To align, loosen the screws D in the lower part C.

In addition, the encoder cover [361] can be turned 360 degrees in steps of 90° for many motor configurations to allow for a variable connection side of the integrated encoder plug connector (parts [U] and [619]). Loosen the screws [34] and the washers [33]. The ability to turn parts can be restricted by the following design features of the motor:

  • Size
  • Position of the manual brake release
  • Certain gear unit combinations
  • Dimensions of the feet of the motor
  • Connection technology of the motor (e.g. plug connectors)
  • Combination with a forced cooling fan
  • Applicative limits of the system
