The Omron E6B2-CWZ6C 360P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental encoder designed to detect rotational movement and provide pulse feedback to industrial control systems. With 360 P/R resolution and A/B/Z NPN outputs, one complete shaft revolution generates 360 incremental pulses for position and speed measurement. The encoder operates from 5 to 24 VDC and uses a compact 40 mm diameter housing with a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. These characteristics support installation in automated equipment where rotational information must be transferred to PLCs, counters, or other compatible controllers. The E6B2-CWZ6C 360P/R represents a 360-pulse configuration in the E6B2-C Series. It is grouped with other shaft rotary encoder models offered within Omron industrial sensing solutions.
