US Digital

Vancouver, WA - US Digital is proud to announce the release of our newest hollow bore optical encoder, the HB5M.

The HB5M is a hollow bore optical encoder with a machined aluminum enclosure and a clear anodized protective finish. The HB5M optical incremental encoder is designed to easily mount to an existing shaft to provide digital feedback information for any motion control application.

The HB5M bearing style encoder features a hollow bore that accepts shaft diameters of 5mm to 8mm in diameter. The encoder slips over the shaft and is locked into place with two 4-40 set screws. A flexible anti-rotation tether compensates for shaft run out. The flexible tether provides mounting for a 1.812" bolt circle.

The HB5M operates from a single +5V supply and is available from stock with resolutions of 32 to 1200 CPR (128 to 5000 counts per rev.). The HB5M is available with either single-ended or differential line driver outputs.
