OPTICAL ENCODERS
All Litton Poly-Scientific, Clifton Precision™ motors can be fitted with an encoder.
Litton Poly-Scientific uses the Hewlett-Packard HEDS and HEDM series of optical
encoders as their standard offering. Other encoders are available; if you have a
specific need please contact one of our applications engineers.

Definitions:
Count (N) – the number of bar and window pairs or counts per revolution (CPR) of the codewheel
Pulse Width (P) – the number of electrical degrees that an output is high during 1 cycle. This value is nominally 180
°e or ½ cycle
Pulse Width Error (DP) – the deviation, in electrical degrees, of the pulse width from its ideal value of 180 °e
Phase (f) – the number of electrical degrees between the center of the high state of channel A and the center of
channel B. This value is nominally 90 °e for quadrature output.
Phase Error (Df) – the deviation of the phase from its ideal value of 90°e.
Index Pulse Width (Po) – the number of electrical degrees that an index output is high during one full shaft rotation.
This value is nominally 90 °e or ¼ cycle.
