Broadcom 5V dc 500 ppr Pulse Optical Encoder with a 8 mm Hollow Shaft, Through Hole, Cable

Broadcom HEDL-564x Series Optical Encoder, 500ppr Pulses Per Revolution, 5V DC Supply Voltage - HEDL-5640#A13

This optical encoder is an incremental position sensor designed to convert rotary motion into electrical Pulse trains for motion control and position feedback in industrial systems. It operates from a 5V DC supply and provides quadrature output Plus an index Pulse to support direction and reference signalling. The unit is configured for through-hole mounting and uses a cable termination for connection.

Features and Benefits:

• Provides 500ppr for fine positional resolution
  Supports Peak rotational speeds up to 30000r/min for fast motion systems
  Hollow 8mm shaft allows shaft-through installations
  Two-channel quadrature with index Pulse enables direction and zero referencing
  Cable termination simplifies external wiring in fixed assemblies
  RoHS6 compliance reduces hazardous substance content in assemblies

Applications

• Suitable for closed-loop motor speed control systems
  Used for shaft position feedback in automation equipment
  Ideal for integration into servo drives requiring index referencing
  Can be used for rotary encoders in conveyor speed monitoring
  Used with custom mechanical couplings needing hollow-shaft fit

What supply voltage is required for operation?

It runs from a 5V DC supply and expects a stable nominal voltage for correct signalling.

What type of output signalling does it provide?

It produces a two-channel quadrature output Plus a single index Pulse for reference.

How is the unit mounted to a PCB or chassis?

The device is intended for through-hole mounting to secure it within mechanical assemblies.

What shaft configuration is offered for coupling options?

A hollow shaft with an 8mm bore permits through-shaft coupling or passage of cables.

Is the encoder suitable for high-speed rotational applications?

Yes, it is rated for operation at rotational speeds up to 30000r/min.
