Description
The HEDR-542x series are high
performance, cost-effective, two-
channel optional incremental
housed encoders. These encoders
emphasize high reliability, high
resolution and easy assembly. The
HEDR-542x housed encoders use
reflective technology to sense rotary
position. This sensor consists of an
LED light source and a photodetec-
tor IC in a single SO-8 surface
mount package. The outputs of the
HEDR-542x encoders are two
square waves in quadrature. These
encoders may be quickly and easily
mounted to a motor.
Applications
The HEDR-542x provides motion
detection at a low cost, making
them ideal for high volume
applications. Typical applications
include vending machines and
motor manufacturing
applications.
Note
: Agilent Technologies en-
coders are not recommended for
use in safety critical applications.
Eg. ABS braking systems, power
steering, life support systems and
critical care medical equipment.
