Quantum Devices, Inc. Model QD145 provides an improved feedback solution in applications typically using modular encoders. With an over all height of just only 0.87” and the stability of a bearing encoder design, the model QD145 can provide significant performance upgrades in applications limited by traditional modular encoder solutions. Outputs consist of a quadrature with reference pulse and three-phase commutation, which can be configured with either the industrial standard 5 volt RS422A Line Driver or the 5 to 26 volt OL7272 line driver. A flexible member allows for much greater tail shaft run out than can be tolerated by modular encoder designs, plus it provides 30 degrees of rotation for commutation timing. A housing constructed of conductive carbon fiber composite provides the EMI shielding of an all metal housing and the performance of a lightweight robust assembly.
