Abstract
An encoder for detecting measured values dependent on the rotation angle of the shaft of a motor includes a rotor, which can be fixed on the shaft, and a stator housing, which can be fixed by a bearing surface on an attachment surface of the motor and has a scanning means for detecting the relative rotational position of rotor and stator. In the mounted state, the rotor is fixed on the shaft and the housing is fixed on the attachment surface in such a way that the rotor and the scanning means have a defined axial distance (h). Additionally for mounting purposes, the encoder is pushed onto the shaft until the housing is held in a mounting auxiliary position with its bearing surface at an axial distance from the attachment surface, the axial distance corresponding to the defined distance (h).
