US Digital E2 Motor Encoder Description
The US Digital E2 motor encoder mounts directly to a motor or other rotating shaft. This optical encoder features a rugged, glass-filled polymer housing and is designed for easy installation and removal.
The E2 rotary encoder contains a precision machined aluminum hub with a specially patterned Mylar disk. This disk, in combination with our proprietary optical encoder module, creates a system that is highly tolerant to mechanical misalignment.
The E2 is available with five base configurations and three cover styles, which allow it to fit a wide range of applications. The output for this optical rotary encoder is single-ended. If your application requires a differential output (due to needing a cable over 10 feet or is located in an electrically noisy environment) you can either add a PC4 / PC5 differential line driver or check out our E5, which includes an optional differential output. This incremental encoder is designed for use with a high-retention or standard connector/cable, which are sold separately.
BROADCOM/AVAGO REPLACEMENTS:
US Digital's E2 encoder may be used as direct replacements for Avago HEDM-5500, HEDM-5600, HEDS-5500, HEDS-5600.
