Product Description:

With its small size and outstanding performance, the Danaher HG101A6 is a high efficiency rotary encoder for use in motion control systems.

Being a Danaher brand of timers and controller that consumers trust, this incremental encoder performs with integrity and provides precise feedback across numerous control systems. The HG101A6 has a 6 mm shaft diameter and has a resolution of 1024 pulses per revolution (P / R), and therefore it is adequate where moderate and high resolution feedback is demanded. It has a supply voltage range of 5-24 VDC, thus making it open to variety to be used on the control circuits. The encoder response frequency is 100 kHz maximum with the ability to respond at high speeds to give quick and reactive signal out put. The output circuit is an NPN open collector whose adopted industry standard makes interfacing with digital controllers and PLCs very simpler. With continuity in mind, the encoder is able to accept the permissible rotational velocities up to 6000 rpm and also has a low start torque that is less than 29.4 mNm, therefore reducing waste of energy during startup.

Manufactured out of a robust type of aluminum shell, HG101A6 is portable being relatively lightweight-just about 200 grams, but also compact such that it is able to be installed in restricted spaces. Protection rating of IP50 offers an entry-level protection against dust and small objects, which make it suitable in clean to moderately-dusty conditions. Its operating temperature range of in between -10°C to +70°C guarantees reliable performance at a typical industrial environment. It comes with a lengthy 2-meter cable to allow easy installation and connection.
