DESCRIPTION

· High-performance, low-cost, two and three-channel optical incremental encoders.

· Includes lensed LED source, integrated circuit with detectors, and codewheel.

· HEDS-5500/5600 and HEDM-5500/5600 provide two square waves in quadrature.

· HEDS-5540/5640 and HEDM-5540 include a third channel index output.

· HEDS series uses metal codewheels; HEDM series uses film codewheels for resolutions up to 1024 CPR.

· Easy mounting to motors; external mounting ears for larger diameter motors.

· Quadrature signals and index pulse accessed via five 0.025-inch square pins.

· Standard resolutions range from 96 to 1024 counts per revolution.

FEATURES

· Two-channel quadrature output with optional index pulse.

· Quick and easy assembly.

· No signal adjustment required.

· External mounting ears available.

· Low cost.

· Resolutions up to 1024 counts per revolution.

· Small size.

· Operating temperature range: -40°C to 100°C.

· TTL compatible.

· Single 5V supply.

APPLICATIONS

· Ideal for high-volume applications requiring motion detection.

· Typical applications include printers, plotters, tape drives, positioning tables, and automatic handlers.

· Not recommended for safety-critical applications (e.g., ABS braking systems, power steering, life support systems, critical care medical equipment).
