H1 Product Description
The H1 series ball bearing optical shaft encoder has a glass-filled polymer enclosure. This non-contacting rotary to digital converter is designed to provide digital feedback information.
The H1 is fully assembled with a brass shaft, two 1/4" ID by 1/2" OD ball bearings and a mounting plate. The mounting plate comes with 2 mounting holes for #4 size screws.
The H1 is designed to drive cables up to 10 feet long. For longer cable lengths, adding a PC4 / PC5 differential line driver is recommended.
A connection to the H1 series encoder is made through a 5-pin standard connector. The mating connectors are available from US Digital with several cable options and lengths.

| H1 Mold Update - PCN 5259 | 4/21/2015 | As part of our ongoing continuous improvement efforts, and in order to enhance both function and appearance of the H1 product line, multiple improvements are being incorporated into a plastic component redesign. | Download |
| 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 |
