How to Rotate a Hollow Shaft

Hollow shaft encoders are used in machine control, process control, food processing, and metering and perform rotating functions for certain machines. These devices contain a clamping jaw that can only be opened by rotating the hollow shaft itself. With the help of a retention pin, which comes with your hollow shaft encoder, you can easily rotate the shaft.

      Insert the retention pin into one of the holes on the hollow shaft. The holes are located on either side of the edge of the hollow shaft.
