# REV Motor Encoders
REV Robotics HD Hex Motors ([REV-41-1291](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-41-1301/)) and the Core Hex Motors ([REV-41-1300](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-41-1300/)) come with a magnetic quadrature encoder already installed and an appropriate cable for connecting the encoder output to the REV Robotics Control Hub ([REV-31-1595](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-31-1595/)) or Expansion Hub ([REV-31-1153](https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-31-1153/)). See Table 1 and Table 2 for relevant encoder details.
### Core Hex Motor (REV-41-1300) Encoder Specifications
| **Core Hex Motor (REV-41-1300) Reduction** | 72:1 |
| -------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Free Speed (RPM)** | 125 |
| **Cycles per Rotation of the Encoder Shaft** | 4 (1 Rise of Channel A) |
| **Counts per Rotation of the Output Shaft** | 288 (72 Rises of Channel A) |
#### Pinout
The Core Hex Motor uses a 2-pin JST-VH Connector for motor power and a 4-pin JST-PH for sensor feedback from the built-in encoder. For more information on using the cables and connectors included with the Core Hex Motor, see the [REV Control System - Cable and Connectors documentation](https://docs.revrobotics.com/duo-control/control-system-overview/cables-and-connectors). The image below has the pinout for the motor power and the encoder.
### HD Hex Motor (REV-41-1291) Encoder Specifications
| **HD Hex Motor Reduction** | Bare Motor | 40:1 | 20:1 |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Free Speed (RPM)** | 6000 | 150 | 300 |
| **Cycles per Rotation of the Encoder Shaft** | 28 (7 Rises of Channel A) | 28 (7 Rises of Channel A) | 28 (7 Rises of Channel A) |
| **Counts per Rotation of the Output Shaft** | 28 (7 Rises of Channel A) | 1120 (280 Rises of Channel A) | 560 (140 Rises of Channel A) |
#### Pinout
The HD Hex Motor uses a 2-pin JST-VH Connector for motor power and a 4-pin JST-PH for sensor feedback from the built-in encoder.
