MX21 INSTA-MOUNT™ Series—Modular
Incremental Rotary Optical Encoder
BEI Sensors
By the time you have read this first sentence, you could have installed
BEI’s model MX21 INSTA-MOUNT™ modular optical encoder. In
addition to its quick and easy installation, the MX21 is designed to
operate with jitter-free output signals without tight controls on shaft
endplay, runout, or perpendicularity. The new INSTA-MOUNT™
encoder is capable of operating within a temperature range of -10°to
+70°C, requiring less than 30 milliamps of L.E.D. current, without
degradation of output signals and is short circuit protected.
The MX21 is perfectly suited for motor manufacturers and other high
volume OEMs. BEI’s INSTA-MOUNT™ Series encoder offers 5V TTL
compatible quadrature outputs with index and complements as options.
Axial shaft movements during operation, o f±0.010", will not adversely
affect the output signals. Shaft runouts of 0.005" TIR can also be
absorbed by this device without affecting output signal performance.

Preparation:
1. Inspect motor interface per MX21 Data Sheet or specification drawing.
2. Motor shaft must be free of burrs & other surface defects.
Installation:
1. Motor shaft should NOT be rotating during initial encoder installation.
2. Hold encoder perpendicular to motor shaft. Guide the encoder onto the motor shaft,
pushing encoder STRAIGHT on until it is flush against the mount surface. Do NOT
rock side to side.
3. Install two #4-40 mount screws. Do not fully tighten at this point. (Note: A thread
sealant should be applied to the screw threads)
4. Rotate the motor shaft (300 RPM, minimum). Press the air-gap button until it
bottoms to the top of the encoder momentarily, then release. CAUTION: DO NOT
press air-gap button while motor shaft is stationary. Button should only be pressed
for one or two seconds while shaft is rotating.
5. Tighten mounting screws fully. (recommended torque is 30 to 40 ounce inches.)
6. This completes the mechanical installation. Proceed with electrical connections as
indicated on product data sheet or specification drawing.
Removal:
1. Motor shaft may be stationary or rotating up to 1000 RPM during encoder removal.
2. Remove two mounting screws.
3. Grasp encoder firmly and pull STRAIGHT off of the motor shaft. Do NOT rock side
to side.
