New spring-loaded pivot arm for wheel-encoder assemblies

March 30, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoder

POSITAL has introduced a new spring-loaded pivot arm mounting system for wheel-encoder assemblies. Like earlier spring-loaded mounting brackets, this device is designed to minimize slippage by maintaining a steady contact pressure between the wheel and the moving surface. However, the pivot arm can accommodate larger lateral movements of the moving surface. Spring tension can be […]
