Broadcom 5V dc Optical Encoder Hollow Shaft, External, Standard Mount

Broadcom HEDS-56xx Series Optical Encoder, 5V Supply Voltage, 30000rpm Maximum Operating Speed - HEDS-5600#A06

This optical encoder provides position feedback by converting rotational motion into electrical signals for control and measurement systems. It operates from a 5 V dc supply and produces a two-channel quadrature output suited to precise directional sensing at high rotational speeds. The device is intended for external, standard mounting and connects to driven elements via a hollow shaft.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports supply of 5 V dc for straightforward system integration
  Delivers two-channel quadrature signals for directional measurement
  Operates up to 30,000 rpm enabling high-speed rotational monitoring
  Draws 5 mA current for low-power sensing applications
  Hollow-shaft construction for direct coupling to shafts

Applications

• Suitable for high-speed motor feedback and control loops
  Ideal for industrial automation position sensing tasks
  Used with external mounting arrangements on machinery panels
  Can be used for shaft-mounted speed measurement in drives
  Suitable for systems requiring a Compact hollow-shaft sensor

What mounting Interface does it require?

It installs via an external standard mount using a 0.25 mm mounting hole diameter.

How does the output format support motion control?

The two-channel quadrature output provides phase-shifted pulses that allow determination of speed and rotation direction.

What shaft arrangement is provided for coupling?

A hollow-shaft configuration enables direct insertion over a driven shaft for Compact coupling.

What current and voltage should be supplied for correct operation?

The device requires a 5 V dc supply and typically consumes 5 mA during operation.
