DESIGN: Electrotor-Simplex ~ Control - Electrical - Layout

• Encoder:
• The Electrotor-Simplex may not have need for an encoder. If it does then see the following.
• The encoder must read the rotational position of the rotor after the overrunning clutch.
• There is probably no reason for an absolute encoder.
• The encoder could read the rotational deviation between the frame of the planetary gearbox and the mast. Probably locate the reader on (or in) the Main Housing and the read on the teetering stand.
• The encoder must be kept clean and therefor probably protected from the environment.
