Compatibility description: RQN425 series rotary encoder works with HEIDENHAIN EnDat controller and drives supporting 1Vpp sinusoidal input. Suitable for Fives Giddings & Lewis PIC900 CNC heavy boring mill spindle and feed axis.

Function

Function description: RQN 425 512 27S12-71 is multiturn absolute rotary encoder manufactured by HEIDENHAIN. It can read absolute multi-turn position directly after power-on without axis homing. The 1Vpp sine/cosine incremental signals support electronic interpolation to achieve high resolution for high dynamic motion control. Blind hollow shaft design simplifies spindle assembly. Stator coupling absorbs mounting offset and protects internal bearing from mechanical stress. Compact metal housing withstands cutting fluid, dust and workshop vibration. It is core measuring spare for heavy CNC boring mill closed-loop motion control.

Installation

Installation steps: Follow lockout/tagout safety procedure before installation. Cut off all power supply. Fit encoder blind hollow shaft onto machine spindle, tighten clamping ring. Fix stator coupling to prevent housing rotation. Connect shielded EnDat encoder cable to control unit. Adjust mounting alignment, lock all fasteners. Restore power, run EnDat communication test and signal amplitude verification.

Interface

Interface list: M23 17-pin EnDat connector, 3.6~14VDC power and measuring signal terminals, no LED indicators on RQN 425 512 27S12-71.

Diagnostic

Troubleshooting: No EnDat communication: Check power supply, cable breakage or connector pin contact. Weak incremental signal: Optical window contamination or shaft misalignment. Intermittent position loss: Loose clamping ring, bearing wear or cable abrasion.
