HEDS-970x, HEDS-972x Series Digital Output Small Optical Encoder Modules
Data Sheet
Description
The HEDS-9700 series is a high performance, low cost, optical incremental encoder module. When operated in conjunction with either a codewheel or codestrip, this module detects rotary or linear position. The module consists of a lensed LED source and a detector IC enclosed in a small C-shaped plastic package. Due to a highly collimated light source and a unique photodetector array, the module is extremely tolerant to mounting misalignment.
The two channel digital outputs and 5V supply input are accessed through four solder-plated leads located on 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) centers.
The standard HEDS-9700 is designed for use with an 11 mm optical radius codewheel, or linear codestrip.
