  • High Noise Immunity

Quantum Devices, Inc. Model QDH20 provides an improved feedback solution in applications typically using a standard size 20 package. The QDH20 provides encoder feedback in standard industrial mounting configurations with superb mechanical and environmental protection.

Outputs consist of a quadrature A & B with reference pulse Z as a standard feature. The output can be configured with either the 5 to 26 volt OL7272 line driver or open collector outputs. The QDH20 features two heavy-duty bearings holding the output shaft, and two more bearings along with an integral flexible spring mount to isolate the working pieces of the encoder from mechanical stresses.
