Take a grinder to the motor shaft and make a flat on it. Then tighten the setscrew on the flat with some Loctite on the threads or a second setscrew behind it if you have the room. John > -Original Message- > From: Ralph Stirling [mailto:ralph.stirl...@wallawalla.edu] > Sent:

[Emc-users] miniature taper-lock type pulleys

Inductosyn has a major cost advantage over Accupins. It is a copper film bonded to a steel backplate. It is a photo etch process like a circuit board. The slider is the same process with a thin foil protection over it. The slider provides sine and cosine, and the scale reads displacement.
