AK8H, AK8W

Note the following regarding the encoder interfaces:

The electrical specifications of encoders with the ...W interface (sin/cos + RS485) correspond to the sin/cos signal definitions of the HIPERFACE® interface. However, in the digital interface RS485, they deviate from the HIPERFACE® standard and are only suitable for operation on inverters from SEW-EURODRIVE.

Accuracy of the incremental section Due to the stiffness of the torque bracket, you have to take into account an automatically resetting twist of ±0.6° (depending on the direction of rotation) of the encoder housing compared to the encoder shaft.
