Product Description:

The HC62550000231 is an incremental rotary feedback device built by Danaher for the Dynapar Encoders series. Designed for closed-loop motion equipment, the encoder converts mechanical shaft rotation into calibrated pulse trains that a drive or PLC can count for speed and position regulation. The unit installs as a sensing component rather than a torque source, and its purpose in industrial automation is to deliver accurate electrical signals that let controllers synchronize axes, monitor conveyor velocity, or verify spindle orientation.

Electrical performance centers on a resolution of 5000 PPR, so one full revolution yields five thousand evenly spaced pulse cycles for precise measurement. Signal levels are aligned with a 5 V supply, and they are driven through a differential line driver that provides noise immunity over long cable runs. Each channel can sink or source up to 40 mA, allowing a direct connection to high-speed counter inputs without additional buffers. The die-cast housing is rated NEMA 4/IP66, so the internal optics remain protected from dust and water jets when the rear gasket is seated. The balanced code disc supports continuous operation at speeds up to 10,000 rpm.

The encoder uses a flange mount, and its power and signal conductors terminate on a 10-pin MS3106A-18-1S military-style connector. No index channel is provided, so homing routines must reference an external mark. A moment of inertia of 2.83 × 10⁻⁴ oz-in-s² limits start-stop latency during dynamic operation. The electronics reproduce measured motion at frequencies up to 250 kHz, making the device suitable for fast-acceleration servo systems. The stainless steel shaft has a 3/8-inch diameter and accepts axial loads up to 30 lb and radial loads up to 40 lb without exceeding the bearing life curves. Startup friction is limited to 2.5 oz-in maximum, so small motors can drive the sensor without requiring additional torque reserve.
