Omron E6B2-CWZ6C 360P/R 2M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6B2-CWZ6C 360P/R 2M Rotary Encoder is an incremental shaft encoder used to generate pulse feedback from rotating machine components. It provides 360 P/R resolution with A/B/Z NPN outputs, allowing compatible PLCs, counters, and machine controllers to monitor shaft movement, direction, and reference position. The encoder operates from 5 to 24 VDC and uses a 40 mm diameter housing with a 2 m pre-wired cable for connection to the machine control system. Its 360-pulse configuration provides a specific measurement resolution for applications requiring incremental rotational feedback. The E6B2-CWZ6C 360P/R establishes the model relationship with the E6B2-C Series. It is also part of the wider 360 P/R incremental encoder range offered through Omron machine automation products.
