1. Centering Tool
The centering tool is only included with the -3 packaging option. It has to be ordered separately for other package options.
Part #: MCTOOL - (Shaft Diameter)
Description: This reusable tool provides a simple method for accurately centering the E4P base onto the shaft. A centering tool is highly recommended when using the T-option transfer adhesive.
2. Spacer Tool
A spacer tool is included for all packaging options.
Part #: SPACER-E4P
Description: This reusable tool is used to properly space the codewheel from the encoder.
The E4P miniature encoder is designed to provide digital quadrature encoder feedback for high volume applications with limited space constraints. The E4P version utilizes an innovative, patented push-on codewheel which accepts shaft diameters of 1.5mm to .250".
The E4P encoder is the leader for high quantity OEM applications, but the E4 is the ideal choice when a set-screw codewheel encoder is required (see the E4 page).
The E4P miniature encoder base provides mounting holes for two #3-48, length 1/4" or two M2.5x.45mm, length 6mm screws on a .586" bolt circle. When mounting holes are not available, a pre-applied transfer adhesive (with peel-off backing) is available for "stick-on" mounting.
The encoder cover is easily snapped onto the base and is embossed with the connector pin-out.
The E4P series encoder can be connected by using a (high retention 4-conductor snap-in polarized 1.25mm pitch) connector. Mating cables and connectors (see the Cables / Connectors web page) are not included, and are available separately.
