Tone Ring Assembly¶
Tools¶
- Holoseat Test Stand
Materials¶
- (optional) Instant/super glue (prefer Loctite Super Glue Ultragel Control)
- (1) 18PTR-01: 18 Pole Tone Ring Base
- (1) 18PTR-02: Tone Ring Cover
- (36) 18PTR-03: N52 3/16" x 3/16" Neodymium Cylinder Magnets
Safety Issues¶
- Use safety glasses when working with small, high powered magnets to avoid eye injury from flying magnets
- Be sure to maintain physical control of magnets (those being placed and those already placed) to avoid flying magnets
Product¶
HS-03: 18 Pole Tone Ring
Procedure¶
1. Place Magnets¶
- Select a 18PTR-03: N52 3/16" x 3/16" Neodymium Cylinder Magnet and place it length wise into one of the slots in the 18PTR-01: 18 Pole Tone Ring Base
- Select another magnet and find its polarity by placing it along the outside edge so that it becomes attracted to the previous magnet
- Rotate the magnet from the previous step 180 degrees (so that the pole attracted to the previous magnet is facing out to create a pole pair) and place it in the next slot in the base
- Repeat the previous two steps until the tone ring is fully populated
3. Verify Magnet Placement¶
- Set up the Holoseat Test Stand
- Ensure the calibrated sensor is attached to the sensor controller
- Ensure the power and USB connections are all configured according to the test stand operating instructions
- Place the new tone ring onto the tone ring adapter
- Run test
- Clear the sensor stats
- Run the stepper motor 1 revolution, in a CW direction, at 30 RPM
- Get the sensor stats and verify the number of reported poles is 18
- Remove the tone ring from the tone ring adapter
4. Complete the Tone Ring¶
- Align and place the 18PTR-02: Tone Ring Cover over the 18PTR-01: 18 Pole Tone Ring Base
- Press the parts firmly to secure the cover to the base
