In 20+ years working with motors, I've never come across what showed up at the shop today. (photo attached) We ordered a set of small (1/3Hp) induction motors from SEW Eurodrive for a project, and they came with these strange "remoted" encoders. I'm working remotely so I'm not there right now; I'm trying to help my shop tech figure these things out.
We were expecting to get motors with "standard" encoders mounted to the NDE of the motor / fan shroud. Instead, we got what looks like the body of the encoder on the green lead. What gives? I'll check with SEW on Monday, but swapping the encoders probably isn't an option given SEW's current lead times.
What is this encoder topology? Is the green cable fiber optic, with the electronics "remoted?"
Thanks,
