HEIDENHAIN ROD 450 incremental rotary encoder, 2540-line build, HEIDENHAIN ID 251 568-1N. Type: bearing-mounted incremental rotary encoder. The shaft runs in integral bearings inside the housing and joins the driving shaft through a separate rotor coupling, which absorbs axial movement and radial and angular misalignment between the two shafts.
ROD 450 — HEIDENHAIN bearing-mounted incremental rotary encoder, ROD 400 family.
2540 — line count: 2540 lines per revolution.
251 568 — HEIDENHAIN base ID of the ROD 450.
-1N — variant code for this build. The two-character suffix encodes line count, signal type, connection type and cable length. Sibling variants on the same base ID: 251 568-78 is the ROD 450-1000 and 251 568-4F is the ROD 450-1800.
Also marked: ROD 450, ROD-450, ROD450, ROD 450-2540, ROD-450-2540, ROD4502540, 251568-1N, 251 568-1N, 251-568-1N and ID 251568.
Output Signal: 11 µA peak-to-peak sinusoidal current. The encoder drives controls, counters and position displays with an 11 µA sinusoidal input. A HEIDENHAIN EXE interface unit converts the sinusoidal current to TTL square-wave pulses. A sinusoidal output can be electronically interpolated, giving resolution finer than the 2540 lines per revolution of the disc.
Line Count: 2540 lines per revolution. Reference Mark: one. Supply Voltage: 5 V ±0.5 V. Cutoff Frequency: 160 kHz at −3 dB. Maximum Speed: 12,000 rpm mechanical. At 2540 lines the 160 kHz cutoff corresponds to about 3,800 rpm electrical. Protection Class: IP67. Operating Temperature: −40 °C to +100 °C. Shaft: 10 mm diameter solid shaft.
Mounting: flange mount with integral bearing, driven through a separate rotor coupling. Shaft: 10 mm diameter solid.
Unit Quantity: 1 encoder. Rotor coupling: separate HEIDENHAIN item.
Discontinued HEIDENHAIN model. The current-generation HEIDENHAIN family for this class of encoder is the ROD 1000 series.
