Preparation and installation of the encoder
The method of installation depends on the cylinder design. Installation is typically done
by inserting it into the cylinder pipe. The encoder housing is inserted into the cylinder
base. If the cylinder base is screwed or flanged to the cylinder pipe, installation via
the base side is also possible. This is particularly advantageous for extended stroke
lengths. Encoders with a flange housing (MAXFx) or with a screw-in housing (MAXHx)
are also inserted and fastened in the cylinder from the bottom side.
The encoder dimensions are listed in the technical data:
