E5 Optical Kit Encoder
Page 1 of 5
Description
The E5 Series rotary encoder has a molded polycarbonate enclosure with either
a 5-pin or 10-pin latching connector. This optical incremental encoder is
designed to easily mount to and dismount from an existing motor shaft to provide
digital feedback information.
The E5 Series is easy to add to existing applications and only consists of five
main components: base, cover, hubdisk, optical encoder module and internal
differential line driver (differential version only).
The single-ended output version (S-option) is typically used with cables of 10
feet or less. For longer cable lengths, the differential output version (D-option) is
recommended.
The base and cover are both constructed of a rugged 20% glass filled
polycarbonate. Attachment of the base to a surface may be accomplished by
utilizing one of several machine screw bolt circle options. Positioning of the base
to the centerline of a shaft is ensured by use of a centering tool (sold separately).
Features
The cover is securely attached to the base with two 4-40 flat head screws to
provide a resilient package protecting the internal components. Quick, simple assembly and disassembly
Rugged screw-together housing
The internal components consist of a mylar disk mounted to a precision Positive latching connector
machined aluminum hub and an encoder module. The module consists of a Accepts .010" axial shaft play
highly collimated solid state light source and monolithic phased array sensor, 32 to 5000 cycles per revolution (CPR)
which together provide a system extremely tolerant to mechanical 128 to 20000 pulses per revolution (PPR)
misalignments. 2 channel quadrature TTL squarewave outputs
Optional index (3rd channel)
A secure connection to the E5 Series encoder is made through a 5-pin (single-
Mounting compatibility with HEDS-5500
ended versions) or 10-pin (differential versions) latching connector (sold
separately). The mating connectors are available from US Digital with several
cable options and lengths.
Avago Replacements:
US Digital's E5 encoder may now be used as a replacement for Avago HEDL-
5500, HEDL-5600.

(1) Position inaccuracy is proportional to shaft radial play.
(2) 60000 rpm is the maximum rpm due to mechanical considerations. The maximum RPM due to the module's maximum frequency
response is dependent upon the module?s resolution (CPR). For resolutions of 32 to 1999 CPR the frequency response is 300 kHz, 20
00 to 3999 CPR the frequency response is 360 kHz and 4000 CPR and greater the frequency response is 720 kHz.
(3) Add 0.125" to the required shaft length when usingR-option.
