Sinotech 56mm Optical Encoder Modular HKT56

The HKT56 series are high performance two and three channel optical incremental encoders. These encoders emphasize high reliability, high resolution, and easy assembly. Each encoders contains a LED source (emitter), an integrated circuit with detectors and output circuitry, and a code-wheel which rotates between the emitter and detector integrated circuit. This index is an active high pulse that occurs once every full rotation of the code-wheel. Resolutions up to 2048 counts per revolution are available in the two and three channel versions. Features: Two or three channel quadrature output with optional index pulse, TTL compatible single ended outputs on HKT56 series, 100° C operating temperature, easy assembly, no signal adjustment necessary, resolutions up to 2048 counts per revolution, maximum shaft diameter of 20mm. Applications: The HKT56 series provide motion detection to a very high resolution and accept a variety of shaft sizes up to a maximum of 20mm.
