Hollow Shaft
Hollow Shaft
Tri-Tronics hollow shaft encoders combine precision and convenience with their unique through-shaft design, allowing for easy mounting directly onto motor shafts without additional couplings or adapters.
Ideal for space-constrained installations
Hollow shaft encoders are designed with either a through-bore or blind-bored shaft which mounts to a rotating shaft. They "float" on the shaft eliminating the need for a shaft-to-shaft coupling and mounting adapter saving space and cost. A tether or flexible mounting bracket prevents the encoder from turning and absorbs shaft-to-shaft misalignment increasing bearing life.
