Magnetic Encoder on a non-ideal stepper motor
-
Hi,
I have some Sanyo Denki steppers and I would like to attach the magnet for the magnetic encoder to the back end of their output shafts. But due to the way these steppers are designed the magnet will be recessed inside the body of the stepper.
Is that a big deal? Will that affect the performance of the magnetic encoder? Do I have to make a spacer to raise the magnet? And is the magnet special? Or is it just an ordinary neodymium magnet? -
What sort of encoder are you talking about? Do you have a link or a brand and part number?
Thanks.
Frederick

@Anon1337 the magnet is diametrically magnetised, so not an ordinary magnet. You may find that the magnet we supply is long enough, but if not then you can use a spacer.

How neat. I didn't know they made those.
So either add a spacer or buy a longer magnet.
If you need to buy a longer magnet you should be able to find a site like this that has all sorts:
