Hello, thank you for the info, so in newer models the shaft for the encoder is like this?

I also was thinking to put a hallow encoder directly in the shaft, but I am afraid the oil mist will find its way insight the encoder.

Hi John,

That encoder looks like a great solution (for my lathe project :)), at least for shafts which are not within an oil bath, Strange they used -Z bearing shields instead of -2RS seals.

Where did you source it from?

They are very common encoder in elevators, so they are relative cheap.

.They can even customize the bore.

Thanks for the link. I should have guessed.

Yesterday I pulled finger and did a little more wiring. This is the connector for the two encoders which do feed override and rapid select.


The Heidenhain 602D EXE I ordered arrived, so hopefully I can wire that up and get three axis motion at last.

I got the EXE 602D wired up to the Z axis encoder. It is working fine with the output scale correct. I am having some trouble with the PID tuning, but will sleep on it.

Dumb question, but how do I reverse a servo axis? Z is moving reversed. Going up when it should go down.

Running this slow (0.2 output scale) moves smoothly and moves the correct distance, up to 1mm when commanded, but the following error is moving out to 1mm, and then slowly returns once the axis stops.

Change the sign on the encoder scale so that the counter counts in the right direction, and then _also_ swap the sign of the PWM (or analog) output scaling.

Thanks Andy, that makes the motion sense correct, but I still have the following error = distance moved. The encoder is working and the 1mm move stops after exactly 1mm,
