Mechanical design types and mounting
Rotary encoders with integral bearing and stator coupling
ECN/EQN/ERN rotary encoders have
integrated bearings and a mounted stator
coupling. The encoder shaft is directly
connected with the shaft to be measured.
During angular acceleration of the shaft,
the stator coupling must absorb only that
torque caused by friction in the bearing.
ECN/EQN/ERN rotary encoders therefore
provide excellent dynamic performance
and a high natural frequency.
Benefi ts of the stator coupling:
• No axial mounting tolerances between
shaft and stator housing for ExN 1300
• High natural frequency of the coupling
• High torsional rigidity of shaft coupling
• Low mounting or installation space
requirement
• Simple axial mounting
Mounting the ECN/EQN 1100 and
ECN/EQN/ERN 1300
The blind hollow shaft or the taper shaft of
the encoder is connected at its end
through a central screw with the measured
shaft. The encoder is centered on the
motor shaft by the hollow shaft or taper
shaft. The stator of the ECN/EQN 1100 is
connected without a centering collar to a
fl at surface with two clamping screws. The
stator of the ECN/EQN/ERN 1300 is
screwed into a mating hole by an axially
tightened screw.

HEIDENHAIN recommends checking the
holding torque of frictional connections
(e.g. taper shaft, blind hollow shaft).
The testing tool is screwed in the M10
back-off thread on the back of the encoder.
Due to the low screwing depth it does not
touch the shaft-fastening screw. When the
motor shaft is locked, the testing torque is
applied to the extension by a torque
wrench (hexagonal 6.3 mm width across
fl ats). After any nonrecurring settling, there
must not be any relative motion between
the motor shaft and encoder shaft.
