HEDS-8938-014

HEDS-8938-014 is an accessory used in combination with other devices, like brushless motor controller, motor driver, etc. It has a wide application field and is used in various applications to provide position feedback for precise control.HEDS-8938-014 works on the principle of optical incremental encoders. An encoder is used to measure rotary displacement by producing A/B quadrature output (or step and direction output). These outputs are used to measure accurate motion position and direction of any rotating shaft or mechanical component. It has a variety of resolutions and speed ratings, allowing it to be used in a range of applications.The HEDS-8938-014 consists of an opaque wheel containing regularly spaced slits or nozzles. This wheel is mounted on the rotating shaft of the object to be measured. A light source and a detector are used for reading the slit. As the slits pass by the detector, the output of the light source and detector change in a pattern corresponding to the position of the wheel and thus the shaft.The output of the system is taken as two sinusoidal signals 90° out of phase with each other. This allows the resolving of direction of the wheel. This output is also commonly known as AB quadrature or pulse and direction output which can be interpreted as rotational position.The advantages of using HEDS-8938-014 are that it is simple to set up and requires minimal maintenance, is cost-effective, offers high accuracy and resolution and can be used in harsh environmental conditions. Furthermore, its output is inherently digital, which helps in reducing the noise-sensitivity and making it more reliable. The resolution of HEDS-8938-014 is also up to 5000 lines per revolution, making it suitable for applications requiring high precision and accuracy.HEDS-8938-014 has wide applications in industries, including automotive motors, robotics, medical instruments, motion control, instrumentation and other industrial control systems. It is also used in optical measurement systems and other automotive and machine tool applications. It has application in monitoring of position and motion, speed monitoring, velocity sensing etc.The HEDS-8938-014 is a great accessory to have in any industrial setup as it offers a wide variety of applications in different industrial sectors. It can be used in combination with different devices like brushless motor controllers, motor drivers, etc.
