HEDB-9100 Series
(2-Channel encoder and codewheel, 11mm Optical Radius bundled pack)

The HEDB-9100 series are two channel optical incremental encoder modules offered with a codewheel. When used with a codewheel, these low cost modules detect rotary position. Each 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, these modules are extremely tolerant to mounting misalignment.

The HEDB-9100 has two channel quadrature output. The HEDB-9100 is designed for use with a HEDS-5120 codewheel which has an optical radius of 11.00 mm (0.433 inch). The quadrature signals and the single 5V supply input are accessed through five 0.025 inch square pins located on 0.1 inch (pitch) centers.

Incremental Encoders and Code Wheels

Incremental Encoders are position feedback devices that provides incremental counts. Thus, incremental encoders provide relative position, where the feedback signal is always referenced to a start or home position. For incremental encoders, each mechanical position is uniquely defined. The current position sensed is only incremental from the last position sensed. Incremental encoders are also non-contacting optical, rotary, quadrature output device.

These incremental encoders are also called optical encoders or optical incremental encoders because they utilizes optical technology. Optical incremental encoders are highly sort after as position feedback devices due to its durability and ability to achieve high resolution. Avago's optical incremental encoders are exceptionally recognized for its reliability and accuracy.

To ensure convenience, efficiency and cost effectiveness of our customers assembly requirements, Avago offers a range of incremental encoders that are readily matched with compatible code wheels. The choice of code wheels in this category, enables Avago’s incremental encoders to perform in the most optimum position and provide the most accurate output.
