  • CPR (N): The number of Cycles Per Revolution.
  • One Shaft Rotation: 360 mechanical degrees, N cycles.
  • One Electrical Degree (°e): 1/360th of one cycle.
  • One Cycle (C): 360 electrical degrees (°e). Each cycle can be decoded into 1 or 4 codes, referred to as X1 or X4 resolution multiplication.
  • Symmetry: A measure of the relationship between (X) and (Y) in electrical degrees, nominally 180°e.
  • Quadrature (Z): The phase lag or lead between channels A and B in electrical degrees, nominally 90°e.
  • Index (CH I.): The index output goes high once per revolution, coincident with the low states of channels A and B, nominally 1/4 of one cycle (90°e).
  • Position Error: The difference between the actual shaft position and the position indicated by the encoder cycle count.
  • Cycle Error: An indication of cycle uniformity. The difference between an observed shaft angle which gives rise to one electrical cycle, and the nominal angular increment of 1/N of a revolution.

Product Description

The HD25 is a rugged optical incremental shaft encoder designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. The housing, machined from a solid billet aluminum block and finished with clear anodizing, conforms to the industrial standard size 25 package. Size 25 encoders are widely used and are considered to be the backbone of feedback devices found in factory automation and industrial applications. The HD25 will drop directly into existing applications to provide a superior solution at a competitive cost. The HD25 is a factory stock product with little or no lead-time.

Typical applications include:

  • Automation, robotics, motion control, elevator controls, machine tools, food processing, X-Y tables and conveyors.
  • Lathes, grinders, CNC machine tools, high performance servos, test equipment, packaging machines, balance machines and cutting machines.
  • Web processing, rotary tables, transfer machines, stacker cranes, press controls, printing presses and pump controls.
  • Oil field equipment, saw mill machinery and construction machinery.

Our absolute encoders may be used in many stand alone applications that do not require a PC interface. For these applications we provide detailed communications protocols for all of our absolute products (see the SEI Absolute Encoder Communications Protocol page).

Product Notes
  • Cables and connectors are not included and must be ordered separately.
  • US Digital warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship for two years. See complete warranty for details.
