If you’re looking for details such as the recommended tightening torque for an L-type wrench and the recommended bearing design for the HEDL-5540#A11 Rotary Encoder from Broadcom Ltd,
please find below the information provided by the manufacturer.
The HEDL-5540#A11 is designed to fit a 4mm diameter shaft. The shaft length is recommended to be 14mm +/-0.5mm for proper insertion into the encoder.
The recommended torque to tighten the setscrew is 15-18 ozf.inch as indicated on step 3b.
Check the attached HEDx-5xxx encoder datasheet. Assembly instructions are similar to this encoder and can be found on page 9.
Regarding bearing style choice, this is up to the customer and should be selected depending on what is best for the application. The codewheel for the encoder will be fitted to the shaft via a set screw that is tightened using a hex wrench.
Any rotational movement of the shaft will result in triggering position feedback by the encoder. Therefore, the customer will need to determine what torque rating is appropriate for their bearing design, free rotating or not.
