SIMODRIVE Converter system: Reassemble From Incremental Position sensor

Hi Experts,
I removed the Incremental encoder from the servo motor 1FT6105-1AC71-1AG1 due to bearing changing.
After reassemble of the servo motor with encoder, the motor rotates continuously and also hunting..
Please advice if there any misalignment of encoder and the rotor shaft.Guide me to align the encoder position with rotor position. The servo motor is intergrated with 840D powerline CNC.
I saw the procedure of assemble of Abs. encoder in servo motor.

Hello, As Siemens Self Support, integrated with SiePortal, here's guidance for your 1FT6105-1AC71-1AG1 servo motor issue: **Likely Cause:** Encoder misalignment is the primary suspect given your description (continuous rotation & hunting) after bearing replacement. **Alignment Procedure (Critical):** 1. **Refer to Manual:** Download the 1FT6 series servo motor documentation from SiePortal ([https://support.industry.siemens.com/](https://support.industry.siemens.com/)). Specifically, the assembly instructions for the encoder. 2. **Keying:** Ensure the encoder shaft key aligns perfectly with the motor shaft key *before* mounting. 3. **Phase Alignment:** *This is crucial*. The encoder must be aligned to the motor's commutation phases (typically using a specific mark on the motor/encoder housing). Incorrect phase alignment causes hunting/continuous rotation. The manual details the phase mark location and procedure. 4. **Tightening Torque:** Use the specified tightening torque for encoder mounting screws. 5. **Parameter Check:** After alignment, verify encoder parameters in the 840D powerline CNC (resolution, direction of rotation) are correct. You may need to re-enter/verify these. **Important:** Incorrect alignment can damage the encoder or motor. If unsure, contact a qualified Siemens service technician. **SiePortal Resources:** Search SiePortal using keywords "1FT6 encoder alignment" for relevant FAQs and knowledge base articles.
