Omron E6B2-CWZ1X 20P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6B2-CWZ1X 20P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental shaft encoder configured to generate low-resolution rotational feedback for industrial machinery. It combines 20 P/R resolution with A/-A, B/-B, and Z/-Z line-driver outputs, providing differential pulse signals for compatible control equipment. A 5 VDC power supply operates the encoder, while the 40 mm diameter housing provides its mechanical format for shaft-mounted applications. The 0.5 m pre-wired cable supports connection where the controller or interface equipment is located close to the encoder. This 20-pulse configuration provides a different rotational resolution from other E6B2-C line-driver variants. The E6B2-CWZ1X 20P/R belongs to the E6B2-C Series. It can be compared with other low-resolution incremental encoders from Omron motion control products.
