Introducing the HB6M

issue32_hb6m.jpgVancouver, WA - US Digital is proud to announce the release of our hollow bore optical encoder, the HB6M.

The HB6M is a high resolution hollow bore optical encoder with a machined aluminum enclosure and a clear anodized protective finish. The HB6M optical incremental encoder is designed to easily mount to an existing shaft to provide digital feedback information for any motion control application.

The HB6M bearing style encoder features a hollow bore that accepts shaft diameters of 0.250" to 0.750" in diameter. The encoder slips over the shaft and is locked into place with two 6-32 set screws. A flexible anti-rotation tether compensates for shaft run out. The flexible tether provides single point mounting for bolt circles from 2.50" up to 5.00".

The HB6M operates from a single +5V supply and is available from stock with resolutions from 64 to 2500 CPR (256 to 10,000 counts per rev.) with single ended or differential line driver outputs.

  • Thru Shaft Design
