3-option
3-option makes all five of these hole diameters .125".
View option:


E-option
The E-option provides a cylindrical extention to the cover allowing for longer shafts of up to .750".
Please note: Only available for shaft diameters <.472".
View option:


H-option
The H-option adds a hole to the cover for the shaft to pass through.
- Shafts 2mm to 10mm, a .438" diameter hole is supplied.
- Shafts 12mm to 1", a 1.047" diameter hole is supplied.

L-option
Provides Avago / Agilent / HP differential compatible pin-out. See direct replacement information above.
M-option
This adapter plate is for mounting to a 3" diameter bolt circle.
View option:

T-option
When mounting holes are not applicable, a pre-applied transfer adhesive mounting option is available.
Instructions: The T-option includes transfer adhesive with a peel-off backing on the encoder base. First, peel the paper backing from the transfer adhesive. Next, align the centering tool with the center hole on the non-adhesive side of the encoder base. Slide the base (adhesive side down) with the centering tool over the motor shaft and press firmly to form a solid bond between the encoder base and mounting surface. Remove the centering tool and continue with the standard assembly. You are required to use the centering tool with the T-option to ensure proper placement.

Please note:
- Shown using the Differential version
- These instructions are compatible for all versions of the E6.
1. Centering Tool
The centering tool is only included with the -3 packaging option. It has to be ordered separately for other packaging options.
Part #: CTOOL - (Shaft Diameter)
Description: This reusable tool provides a simple method for accurately centering the E6 base onto the shaft. It is recommended for the following situations:
- When using mounting screws smaller than #4-40.
- When the position of the mounting holes is in question.
- When using the 3-hole mounting pattern.
- When using the T-option transfer adhesive.
Instructions: When mounting encoder base, slide centering tool down shaft until it slips into centering hole of encoder base. Tighten mounting screws, then remove centering tool.
