Abstract
With a motor with an encoder of the invention, a stopper gap formed between a stopper formed on an outer circumferential surface of a hub of the encoder and a bearing cover of an anti-load side bracket is set smaller than an encoder gap to prevent that a rotating disk is made contact with a fixed slit even when an excessive force is applied to an output shaft of the motor with the encoder.
Claims7
A motor with an encoder comprising:
- a motor;
- and
- an encoder disposed at an anti-load side of the motor, wherein
- the motor includes an output shaft rotatably supported by a load side bearing and an anti-load side bearing, and an anti-load side bracket including a bearing cover for supporting the anti-load side bearing by an inner circumferential part and covering an anti-load side part of the anti-load side bearing,
- the encoder includes a rotating part coupled with the output shaft and a fixed part attached to the anti-load side bracket,
- the rotating part includes a hub fixed at an end of the output shaft at the anti-load side, a shaft center of the hub being matched with a shaft center of the output shaft, and a rotating disk fixed at an anti-load side end of the hub,
- the fixed part includes a fixed slit disposed at a load side of the rotating disk via an encoder gap in a shaft direction,
- the hub includes a stopper that is bumped against the bearing cover of the anti-load side bracket when the output shaft is moved in a load side shaft direction, and
- the stopper is formed to protrude from an outer circumferential surface of the hub, and a stopper gap which is a moving distance of the stopper that is moved in the load side shaft direction to bump against the anti-load side bracket is smaller than the encoder gap.
