E5 Motor Encoder

US Digital E5 Motor Encoder Description

Restriction of Hazardous Substances

The US Digital E5 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 E5 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 E5 is a versatile motor encoder, with four base configurations and three cover styles which allows it to fit a wide range of applications. This optical rotary encoder also has four available outputs—single-ended, single-ended High-Voltage, differential, and Avago differential. This incremental encoder is designed for use with a secure latching connector—connector/cable sold separately.

 

BROADCOM/AVAGO REPLACEMENTS:

US Digital's E5 encoder may be used as a replacement for Avago HEDL-5500, HEDL-5600.
