Kuebler 8.0010.7000.0010 Spring Encoder Arm

The Kübler 8.0010.7000.0010 is a spring encoder arm that provides mechanical coupling between encoders and measured surfaces in industrial position and motion feedback applications. This adjustable accessory maintains optimal contact pressure on the encoder shaft while protecting bearings from overload. The arm features eight or nine selectable mounting positions and operates reliably across demanding temperature ranges.

## Key Features

• Adjustable spring pressure in discrete increments prevents encoder shaft overload
• Multidirectional base plate permits flexible mounting configurations
• Temperature range −40°C to +120°C supports textile, woodworking, metal processing, and automation environments
• No external power required; derives power directly from preset counters
• Rack and pinion integration achieves 0.1 mm resolution with 0.5 mm/m absolute accuracy
• Single pinion rotation produces 50 mm rack travel

## Typical Applications

• Textile machinery with elastomer measuring wheels (Hytrel)
• Wood, paper, metal, and plastics processing with polyurethane wheels (Vulkollan)
• Automation and handling systems
• Mechanical engineering and special machine tools

## Compatibility & Integration

The spring arm integrates with Kübler measuring wheel systems, including the MWE61, to form complete linear measurement assemblies. Rack and pinion configurations are available for displacement measurement in production control and motion verification applications.
