HD25 Industrial Rugged Metal Rotary Shaft Encoder

US Digital HD25 Rotary Encoder Description

The HD25 is a rugged optical shaft encoder engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications and environments. Its machined aluminum housing, milled from a solid billet and black anodized for protection, conforms to the industry-standard Size 25 package and serves as a direct drop-in replacement for similar encoders.

This rotary encoder can be configured with or without a shaft flat and is available in sealed (IP65) or non-sealed versions. It provides single-ended or differential outputs, each offered in low-voltage (4.5-5.5 VDC) or high-voltage (9.5-30 VDC) signal levels, with an optional index channel. For cable runs longer than 10 ft or installations subject to electrical noise, the differential output is recommended for improved signal integrity.

The HD25 incremental encoder uses a military-spec screw-on connector. After you make your selections in the Product Configurator, compatible cables and connectors will be displayed below and must be ordered separately.
