Hollow shaft encoders are designed with either a through-bored shaft or a blind-bored shaft, and intended to mount directly onto a motor or other shaft. This eliminates the need for a shaft to shaft coupling and mounting adapter, resulting in both space and cost savings. The encoder "floats" on the motor shaft. A tether or flexible mounting bracket prevents the encoder from turning, yet accommodates shaft-to-shaft misalignment.
HS20 - Up to 5/8" / 16mm Diameter Hollow Shaft
The model HS20 is an optical hollow shaft encoder in a 2" diameter housing that mounts directly on an existing shaft assembly. A flexible mounting bracket or tether allows the encoder to float on the shaft without rotating. The HS20 generates up to 3 square wave outputs.
Standard Features and Options:
- Up to 5/8" or 16mm shaft bore
- Unbreakable code disk
- Up to 1200 pulses per revolution
- Attached cable or optional connector
