Product Description:

Danaher manufactures the HA52515000240 encoder within the Dynapar Encoders series. This rotary unit couples to a machine or motor shaft and converts rotation into electrical pulses that a PLC or drive uses for position or speed feedback. By supplying repeatable pulse trains, the device supports closed-loop control of conveyors, packaging lines, and general motion axes where moderate resolution and protective sealing are required. Its compact housing simplifies placement alongside motors and gearboxes in crowded machine assemblies.

The device provides a resolution of 1500 PPR, meaning each full revolution yields 1,500 pulses for precise incremental counting. The driver electronics provide a regulated output level of 5 VDC, so TTL-compatible interface cards can read the signal without additional conditioning. A minimum frequency response of 100 kHz allows reliable transmission of high-rate pulse streams, preserving accuracy at elevated speeds. The stainless-steel shaft has a diameter of 3/8 in, matching many small couplings and simplifying mechanical integration. To resist oil mist, dust, and dripping water, the housing carries a NEMA 12 / IP54 rating. The encoder uses an incremental optical sensing system and provides single-ended Format A signals without an index to standard counter inputs. It attaches to machinery with a flange mount and uses a side-exit cord grip to route the leads away from rotating parts.

For dynamic operation, the rotor can run continuously at up to 5,000 rpm without compromising bearing life, and startup drag is limited to 1.0 oz-in of torque, reducing the load on small servo motors. The switching stage is a totem-pole driver that both sources and sinks current, delivering clean transitions over moderate cable runs. The molded lead is 6 ft long, allowing convenient termination inside a nearby junction box. Shielded bearings block contaminants and stabilize the optical disc during extended service intervals.
