Abstract

An optical encoder housing is rotatably mounted upon a hub secured to the shaft of a motor typically by a set screw. The hub also carries the encoder disc. A circular leaf spring is fastened by studs to the motor housing and the encoder housing. Alternatively a spring couples the hub to the motor shaft while the encoder housing is secured to the motor housing.
