E2 Product Description
The E2 is a rotary encoder with a rugged glass-filled polymer enclosure, which utilizes either a 5-pin locking or standard connector. The internal components consist of a mylar disk mounted to a precision machined aluminum hub and an encoder module. The module contains a highly collimated solid-state light source and monolithic phased array sensor, which together provide a system extremely tolerant to mechanical misalignments.
The E2 is normally designed for applications of 10 feet or less. For applications requiring longer cable lengths, we recommend adding a PC4 / PC5 differential line driver or check out our E5 which has an optional differential output.
Attachment of the base to a surface may be accomplished by utilizing one of several machine screw bolt circle options. Positioning of the base to the centerline of a shaft is ensured by the use of our centering tool. The cover is securely attached to the base with two 4-40 pan head screws to provide a resilient package protecting the internal components.
Connection to the E2 product is made through either a 5-pin locking or standard connector. The mating connectors are available from US Digital with several cable options and lengths.
BROADCOM/AVAGO REPLACEMENTS:
US Digital's E2 encoder may be used as direct replacements for Avago HEDM-5500, HEDM-5600, HEDS-5500, HEDS-5600.
