Specifications

Use this information to plan your Linear Encoder installation.

• Mount the linear encoders close to machine guide ways to ensure

system accuracy.

• One side of the linear encoder addresses flush mounting surfaces,

and the opposite side addresses offset mounting surfaces.

• If space between the reading head and the mounting surface

exceeds .18”, use a spacer or mounting bracket to reduce space.

• ACU-RITE bracket kit instructions provide step by step installation

procedures.

• Tolerances of .010” TIR apply to all mounting dimensions.

• Center support mounting surface required for 24” through 60”

linear encoder measuring lengths mounted without a spar.

• Allow clearance for alignment bracket removal.

• Alignment brackets must not be removed until

instructed.

• Use reading head leveling set screws when surfaces are not flush.

• Reading head bracket required for a space >.18”.
