Claim 15:
16. A method for mounting a rotary encoder, said method comprising:
pressing a code disk of the rotary encoder onto an encoder bearing shaft of an encoder bearing arrangement;
slidingly inserting in a direction perpendicular to the encoder bearing shaft an encoder module by guiding tabs of the encoder module in guide grooves oriented perpendicular to the encoder bearing shaft of an end shield of a retaining device;
inserting the encoder module into a centering shoulder formed by an opening in the end shield
placing a retaining ring of the retaining device onto the end shield;
mounting the retaining ring on the end shield via a first fastening screw;
mounting a circuit board including a connecting line on the retaining ring via a second fastening screw to produce an encoder unit; and
mounting the encoder unit on an electric machine.
