HEDR-5420-ES214 - Agilent / Hewlett-Packard

Agilent HEDR-542x Miniature

Reflective Optical Encoder

Product Brief

Introduction

Agilent’s optical encoders are

used in a variety of motion

control applications to provide

position, velocity and direction

sensing.

About the Products

The HEDR-542x is an easy-to-

mount, high-performance,

reliable, two-channel encoder.

The HEDR-542x offers a resolu-

tion of 200 counts per revolution,

featuring typically less than

15 electrical degrees pulse width

error (PWE) and less than 30 elec-

trical degrees for combined phase

and state width error.

The HEDR-542x is ideal for

equipment using small and

miniaturized motors, operating

within the 0oC to +85oC tempera-

ture range, and operating from a

5-volt supply.

Product Mechanism

HEDR-542x encoders translate the

rotary motion of a shaft into a

two-channel digital quadrature

output. The light emitted from a

LED is focused onto a reflective

codewheel. As the shaft moves, the

codewheel rotates, reflecting light

from an alternating bright and

dark pattern. The transitions are

detected by a photodetector IC.

Features and Benefits

• PWE <15 degrees

SWE <30 degrees

– Accurate system control

• Small footprint

– Saves space on PCB; can be

used in small motor system

where space is a constraint

• Cost effective solution

– Value added at low cost

• Several mounting options are

available

– Press fit, set screw and mount-

ing ears to suit design and size of

motors

• Easy assembly

– Shortens assembly time

Typical Applications

• Vending machines

• Volumetric dispenser

• Card readers

(automated teller machines)

• Robotics

• Security camera controls

• Paper feed control

(office automation)
