Abstract
An encoder mounting device is used for mounting an encoder to the shaft of an apparatus so that the encoder can sense and monitor the rotation of the shaft. The device includes a collar and a plastic ring arranged and designed to prevent metal contact between the encoder and the apparatus. In this manner the mounting device prevents electrical and thermal conduction therebetween.
