Hollow Shaft Encoders

HOLLOW SHAFT/TETHER MOUNTED HOLLOW SHAFT APPLICATION FIGURES
Hollow shaft encoders fit over the shaft and
clamp onto it. As the shaft rotates, so does the
disk or rotor of the encoder. An anti-rotation STUB BRAKE

STUB SHAFTS
For hollow shaft mounted encoders, Nidec-Avtron
has a complete selection of stub shafts to fit over
50 different motor configurations.
PROTECTIVE GUARDS
Nidec-Avtron offers optional guards to protect the
encoder from damage, or to provide finger safety
when the encoder is not directly adjacent to the
motor.

TORQUE ARMS AND TETHERS
Nidec-Avtron offers threaded rod torque arms
for heavier duty models to better handle the
larger inertia; simple flat tethers are provided for
smaller, lighter models.
SELECTING HOLLOW SHAFT ENCODERS
How do you select the best encoder for your
application? Encoders on these pages range from
Light, Mill Duty weighing less than 1 pound, to
Explosion Protected, weighing over 17 pounds!

To choose, consider the environment and
application: the rougher the service environment,
the more you need a durable, larger encoder to
survive in these conditions.
HELP ME CHOOSE
Our web site has an expert system to select Threaded rod torque arm
encoders based on motor type and brand,
application needs and much more.
