PEWATRON announce the release of US Digital’s latest absolute, blind hollow bore shaft encoder, the HBA4. This single turn absolute encoder provides 16-bits of resolution over 360 degrees of shaft rotation. The HBA4 is available with a 12 mm or 0.500” diameter bore size with either a ball bearing or sleeve bushing bearing assembly and is sealed to an IP65 rating. The absolute encoder slips over a shaft and is locked in place with a unique self centering ring clamp.
A flexible anti-rotation tether provides single point mounting for bolt circles ranging from 2.50” up to 5.00” in diameter and compensates for shaft run out up to +/- 0.01”. The HBA4 communicates serially to a host via the industry standard RS485 bus. HBA4 absolute encoders were designed for solar tracking systems and are commonly used as an Azimuth position sensor in two axis tracking systems. US Digital products are manufactured in the USA at Vancouver, Washington facility.
