Product Description:

The HA62510240042 is an incremental shaft encoder built by Danaher for the Dynapar Encoders series. The unit attaches to a rotating shaft and converts angular displacement into evenly spaced electrical pulses so drive controllers can determine speed, distance, and direction in automated packaging lines, conveyors, or robotics. This model employs a glass code wheel for optical accuracy and uses an aluminum housing that keeps weight low while resisting corrosion. Its role is to supply precise, real-time feedback that closes the control loop without adding significant mechanical load.

The encoder delivers a native resolution of 1024 PPR, giving 1024 pulses per revolution for accurate position tracking. Output fidelity is maintained with a frequency response of at least 100 kHz, ensuring reliable counting when the shaft approaches 5000 rpm. The electrical interface draws no more than 80 mA, so it connects directly to 5 V or 24 V sensor rails without overloading them. Fast photodiode switching keeps rise and fall times at less than 1 µs, which limits phase lag in quadrature decoding. The NEMA 4/IP66 enclosure seals the aluminum body against water jets and dust, allowing cabinet-free mounting near the process. Internal moment of inertia is 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ oz-in-s², which minimizes acceleration losses when the encoder is coupled to servo motors.

The shaft can tolerate an axial end force of 40 lb and a side load of 35 lb without degrading bearing life, which simplifies direct mounting on gearboxes or pulley shafts. Startup friction is limited to 2.5 oz-in, so small drives can overcome static drag without oversizing. The stainless-steel shaft resists scoring, and the glass disc maintains dimensional stability across thermal cycling. With a total mass of 1.5 lb, the encoder adds little inertia to the host assembly. The aluminum housing efficiently dissipates internally generated heat during long duty cycles.
