Abstract

An apparatus of a rotary pulse encoder and a sleeve, including: a rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder; and a clamping sleeve; in which the rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder and the clamping sleeve are in a bore of a holder for sensing a rotational speed of a rotor, in which the clamping sleeve is positioned in the bore so as to be secured against rotation, and the rotary pulse encoder is friction-locked in the clamping sleeve with a sensor head so as to be axially displaceable, in which the sensor head has a non-cylindrically symmetrical cross-section at least in sections, and the clamping sleeve has at least one inwardly facing position-setting element, by which the sensor head is arranged in the clamping sleeve so as to be secured against rotation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus of a rotary pulse encoder and a sleeve, comprising:
a rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder; and
a clamping sleeve;
wherein the rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder and the clamping sleeve are in a bore of a holder for sensing a rotational speed of a rotor, wherein the clamping sleeve is positioned in the bore so as to be secured against rotation, and the rotary pulse encoder is friction-locked in the clamping sleeve with a sensor head so as to be axially displaceable,
wherein the sensor head has a non-cylindrically symmetrical cross-section at least in sections, and the clamping sleeve has at least one inwardly facing position-setting element, by which the sensor head is arranged in the clamping sleeve so as to be secured against rotation,
wherein the clamping sleeve has at least one element by which it is non-rotatably positioned in the bore, and
wherein the element includes an outwardly projecting lug.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clamping sleeve includes at least one inwardly facing clamping and positioning element to hold the sensor head in an axially displaceable manner.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the at least one clamping and positioning element are rigidly formed or flexibly formed.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the position-setting element and/or the at least one clamping and positioning element are punched or embossed out of a base body of the clamping sleeve.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lug also positions the clamping sleeve axially in the bore.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shape of the sensor head defines one rotational position of the sensor head in the clamping sleeve, wherein the sensor head has a round cross-section and a flattened side that ensure a correct rotary position.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shape of the sensor head defines more than one rotational position of the sensor head in the clamping sleeve, in which two positions rotated by 180° are provided if the rotary pulse encoder permits operation rotated by 180°.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotary pulse encoder includes a Hall sensor.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensor head is surrounded at least in sections by a sheathing.

10. An apparatus of a rotary pulse encoder and a sleeve, comprising:
a rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder; and
a clamping sleeve;
wherein the rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder and the clamping sleeve are in a bore of a holder for sensing a rotational speed of a rotor, wherein the clamping sleeve is positioned in the bore so as to be secured against rotation, and the rotary pulse encoder is friction-locked in the clamping sleeve with a sensor head so as to be axially displaceable,
wherein the sensor head has a non-cylindrically symmetrical cross-section at least in sections, and the clamping sleeve has at least one inwardly facing position-setting element, by which the sensor head is arranged in the clamping sleeve so as to be secured against rotation,
wherein the clamping sleeve includes at least one inwardly facing clamping and positioning element to hold the sensor head in an axially displaceable manner, and
wherein the at least one clamping and positioning element includes at least one rigid dome and a spring element which is opposite said dome.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the clamping sleeve has at least two rigid domes, each having an opposing spring element.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the two domes are arranged in the clamping sleeve so as to be rotated 90° relative to one another with respect to their radial position.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the clamping sleeve has at least one element by which it is non-rotatably positioned in the bore.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the element includes an outwardly projecting lug.
