The EMB-Mounting Plate is a key component of our EMB System. It consists of a base plate with slots and a dovetail clamp. The slots allow the user to precisely position and secure with two fasteners (either M6 or 1/4"-20, depending on your breadboard) to a breadboard. The dovetail clamp interfaces with our EMB modules on any of the dovetail profiles and allows for translational adjustment until the clamp is closed. Two M4x0.7 fasteners are used to clamp the dovetail. 

Note that the dovetail clamp can be separated from the base plate by removing the two M6 fasteners. This might be required if the user wants to flip the dovetail clamp so the M4x0.7 fasteners are on the opposite side of the slots, for example if there's no access to the fasteners in one side.

Key features:

  • Anodized aluminum machined plate and clamp

  • All fasteners included

  • Made in the USA

EMB-MOUNTING PLATE

To attach two in-line shafts, this zero backlash constant velocity helical coupler is recommended. This coupler provides a small misalignment compensation. 

Note: we strongly recommend to never use rigid couplers, as it will damage the bearings of our EMB modules.

Key features:

  • Anodized aluminum

  • Zero backlash

  • Constant velocity

  • Helical type, split hub

  • Max Angular offset: 5 degrees

  • Max Lateral offset: 0.25 mm

  • Made in the USA

EMB-SHAFT COUPLER

This is a premium aluminum knob, with knurled surface and line indicator. The 6 mm bore fits the shaft of our EMB modules. We include a 6"-32 soft tip screw (brass tip) to avoid shaft damage.

A typical application is to mount to the encoder or potentiometer modules and use as input/reference in a control system.

Key features:

  • Black anodized aluminum

  • 6mm bore

  • Soft tip setscrew included

  • Made in the USA

This sensor cable has M12, 5-pole connectors on both sides (Male and Female). It plugs directly to our EMB sensor modules and the EMB-DAQ1. 

Two lengths are offered, 1 m (3.2 ft) and 3 m (9.8 ft). We strongly recommend using shorter cable lengths (1 m) to improve signal integrity, especially for analog signals (potentiometer).

We also offer 4-pole version cable. Note, using a 4-pole cable won't supply the encoder Index signal, since the center pin of the 5-pole connector won't be connected. 

Key features:

  • Length: 1 m or 3 m

  • # of poles: 4 or 5

  • Made in the USA or Germany

EMB-SENSOR CABLE AXIAL

This sensor cable has an M12, 5-pole connector on one end and free leads (pigtail) on the other.

The M12 plugs directly to our EMB sensor modules and the pigtail allows the user to make connect to the EMB-DAQ2 or other DAQ/board/shield.

The user can cut the cable to length to best fit the application. We strongly recommend using shorter cable lengths to improve signal integrity, especially for analog signals (potentiometer).

We also offer 4-pole version cable. Note, using a 4-pole cable won't supply the encoder Index signal, since the center pin of the 5-pole connector won't be connected. 

Key features:

  • Length: 2 m (4-pole) or 3 m (5-pole)

  • # of poles: 4 or 5

  • Made in the USA or Germany

EMB-SENSOR CABLE PIGTAIL

This sensor cable has a right angle  M12, 5-pole connector on one end and free leads (pigtail) on the other.
