Spring-loaded rotary encoder mounting bracket
DHAF 8580

You know the application of these measuring units from your DIY store. When you buy a carpet, the metres you have to pay for are measured automatically while unrolling the carpet. The measurement is done by a measuring wheel which moves synchronously on the carpet and shows the number of metres removed from the roll on a small display.
In the industrial sector, where high precision is required, this is realised by using high-precision measuring systems. ABP-Antriebstechnik manufactures and supplies the appropriate components. Our new inhouse-produced spring-loaded rotary encoder mounting bracket DHAF completes the product range of rotary encoder accessories of ABP-Antriebstechnik. After successful introduction of the measuring wheels with 500 mm circumference in 2012, only one thing was still missing: an appropriate mounting bracket for rotary encoders in connection with the ABP measuring wheels. The high level of quality of the ABP measuring wheels featuring an aluminium core and 4 different running surface structures has proven its worth and, within a short period of time, has established successfully on the market (see article on “Measuring wheels”). The new rotary encoder mounting bracket (see fig.) is provided with a mounting plate with 6 holes arranged in a 60° grid pattern (pitch diameter of 48 mm). The big advantage of this arrangement lies in the assembly of the rotary encoder. Compared to a 3-hole solution, it is possible to realise an almost ideal direction of the rotary encoder cable. The rotary encoder mounting bracket is fitted with a parallel-moving mounting plate for the rotary encoder and two guide pillars. The mounting plate is provided with 4 special plastic bearings for minimum friction.
A significant advantage over angles with one-sided bearing is that the rotary encoder mounting bracket can be mounted regardless of the direction of rotation of the measuring wheel. This is advantageous for reversing systems, since measuring errors can thus be avoided. The required contact pressure is generated by springs. The maximum spring travel is 8 mm with a contact force of approx. 1.5 KG. Technical characteristics at a glance:

6-hole mounting plate in 60° grid pattern
Parallel-moving rotary encoder mounting bracket making the unit independent from the direction of rotation of the measuring wheel
Carefully matched spring pressure ensuring permanent contact of the measuring wheel
Max. spring travel of 8 mm for relieving the encoder bearing
2 mounting slots in the base plate allowed ideal positioning

The Adrian Michel Group AG is a group of companies, centrally located in the Swiss Mittelland.
Our core competencies are in the areas of cutting, bending and deep drawing as well as in the assembly of complete assemblies. A specialty is visible parts for special design requirements. Depending on how the stamping we take care of the specific post-processing such as degreasing, grinding, stud welding, drilling, milling, thread cutting, finishing or thermal treatment.
Our customers include international companies in the fields of power generation and distribution, household appliances, machinery and vehicle, etc.
Thanks to our own tool and own design is the knowledge about the customer solution in our hands.

Complex tube processing for medicine, water, air conditioning, industry and automobiles

We produce customer-specific, ready-to-connect cables, cable bundles and complete cable harnesses with plugs, contacts or wire end ferrules in-house. Here, plugs and contacts are processed using crimping, soldering, screwing and insulation clamp technology. Our extensive range of customer-specific cable assemblies ranges from simple stranded wires, coaxial cables, control lines, ribbon cables and round cables to power supply cables and complex cable harnesses.

Data cables for data centers cabling are also part of our production (Cat. 5e (Class D), Cat 6A (Class EA) patch cable. We also supply OM2, OM2+, OM3, OM4, OS2 fiber optic cables in single-mode and multi-mode in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173-1, -5.

Our production focus is on small and medium-sized series; however, we are also able to service large series with efficient external partners.

Our internal processes and production procedures are controlled and monitored through our EN ISO 9001:2015 certification.

In doing so, we use modern manufacturing and testing equipment, which we use to subject the manufactured products to a 100% final inspection (optical and/or electronic). The final inspection is carried out in close coordination with our customers. This can be proven by special test reports and electronic documentation for traceability.

Short delivery times and the implementation of individual customer requirements are our strengths. Profound advice and support from development to the creation of prototypes to series production are a matter of course for us.

The AGK manufactures electrical and thermal insulating components to customer specifications. In addition to classic GRP-like materials, insulation components are possible up to 1500 ° C.
You will also receive sliding materials up to 600 ° C, from which sliding plates, rails, chain guides are manufactured.
With the material number DuroBest ® Electrical insulation materials are available that are resistant to high pressure and up to 280 ° C thermal stress withstand. Classical representatives are hard paper, hard tissue, fiberglass, Pertinax. In particular DuroBest ® machine components are, aufrund their strength, often as a replacement for steel components.
Flameproof electrical insulation up to 800 ° C is produced from K-Therm ® materials. These coating materials are used in particular in the high current range.

The assembly of heat protection tubes up to 1300 ° C is made from technical fabrics such as ThermTextil ® and Fire Prevent ®. Technical textiles are available in various forms of processing fabric, hoses, belts, packs and cords.

Your customer's drawing will be executed on CNC-controlled machines. The AGK does not use any coolants, but has a dry processing, since in principle insulating components are made, which may be exposed to any moisture contact.
