HB5M Product Description

Restriction of Hazardous Substances

The HB5M is a hollow bore (hollow shaft/thru-bore) optical encoder with a machined aluminum enclosure and an anodized protective finish. The HB5M optical incremental encoder is designed to easily mount to an existing shaft to provide digital feedback information. Typical applications include motor feedback, process control, robotics, textile machines, and elevator controls.

The HB5M bearing style encoder features a hollow bore that accepts shaft diameters from 5mm to 8mm in diameter. The encoder slips over the shaft and is locked into place with two 4-48 set screws. A flexible anti-rotation mount makes the encoder more tolerant of shaft runout than a standard kit encoder. The HB5M can accommodate shaft runout up to 0.030 in. axial and 0.010 in. radial. The flexible tether provides mounting for two 4-40 machine screws on a 1.812 in. bolt circle.

The HB5M housing comes standard with a closed cover or an optional hole in the body to allow a shaft to pass completely through the encoder.

The differential version has an internal differential line driver (26C31) that can source and sink 20mA at TTL levels. The cable connected to this encoder should have 3 twisted pairs for the data channels plus power and ground. The recommended receiver is the industry-standard 26C32.

The mating connector is polarized and latches into the encoder. Depressing the latch tab allows the connector to be unplugged. Mating connector assemblies are available from US Digital. Custom cables are also readily available (see the Cables/Connectors page).

EM1 & EM2 Update - PCN 4199 1/14/2014 Based on our continuous process improvement program, US Digital is changing the current marking method for our EM1 and EM2 encoder modules to a serialization method. This change will allow for each module to have a unique code; the current marking method is based on a date code system that includes all encoder modules produced within a specific week / year. The serialization system will be based on a hexadecimal system. Download
