Step 1Encoder head

The head measures the length of the cable. The cable passes between a knurled wheel with a magnet and a pressure roller. The AS5600 sensor reads the rotation of the magnet.

1. Base, display, sensor and button

1AS5600 board (sensor)5-pin connector on the board
1ButtonInto the bottom hole, nut from behind
8Plastic screw 2.2x54 for the display, 4 for the AS5600
  1. Screw the display on with four 2.2x5 screws.
  2. Screw the AS5600 board on with four 2.2x5 screws so that it lies above the axis of the wheel with the magnet.
  3. Put the button into the bottom hole and tighten the nut.

2. The pressure clamp

The encoder base and the part PUSHER-CLAMP

  1. Press two M3 inserts into the base.
  2. Screw 02-01-015-PUSHER-CLAMP on with two M3x10 screws. Do not tighten the clamp fully yet, the pusher goes in under it.

3. The pusher

1Spring 11.5 x 5.2 mm, wire 0.62 mm
1M6 insert + screw M6x20 (DIN 915 in the drawing)Adjusts the pressure
  1. Put both 624-2Z bearings into PUSH-CYLINDER and push the 4x40 axis through the fork of the pusher.
  2. Put the spring on the pin of the pusher.
  3. Press the M6 insert into SPRING HOUSING and screw in the M6x20. The screw sets the force of the pressure.
  4. Put the whole assembly under PUSHER-CLAMP and tighten the clamp.
Note. The drawing calls the screw DIN 915 (a screw with a cylindrical tip and a slot). Check which type you have bought.

4. The encoder wheel with the magnet

1Magnet from the AS5600Ring magnet, supplied with the board
1Screw M4x40
2Nut M4, self-locking
  1. Put the magnet into MAGNET-HOLDER.
  2. Put a bearing, the SPACER and the second bearing into the wheel.
  3. Push the M4x40 through and secure it with the self-locking M4 nuts. The wheel must turn without play.
  4. Put the assembly into the base so that the magnet faces the AS5600 board.
