Retrofitting a 1986 Maho MH400E

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.
