When fitting hollow shaft encoders onto large drive shafts (e. g. of main drives) it is possible to reduce the diameter of the large shaft with the aid of flange-mounted shaft adapters (flange-type adapter shafts), and in doing so create the right conditions to fit standard hollow shaft units.
Advantages offered by the flange adapter shaft:
- Ideal for large drive shafts
- Centering, bolt circle, bores and stub shaft lengths are adapted perfectly
- Suitable for new plants and retrofitting/replacing other shafts
- Three integrated ball thrust screws (minimum 3, depending on size of flange) to adjust the adapter shaft make it possible to maintain signal quality by minimizing rotational frequency modulation/harmonics
- Best-possible solution to attach heavy combinations or variations of units
- Insulated versions available to protect against bearing/shaft currents
- Custom-made solutions and standard adapter shafts available
