Omron E6C3-AG5B 360P/R 2M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6C3-AG5B 360P/R 2M Rotary Encoder is an absolute shaft encoder configured to provide rotational position information in industrial machine and automation systems. Its 360 P/R resolution with PNP output provides an absolute-position configuration for compatible controllers requiring shaft-position data. The encoder operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a 50 mm diameter housing with a 2 m pre-wired cable, connecting the mechanical rotation point with the electrical control system. The 360 P/R resolution provides a different position-resolution option from higher-count E6C3-A variants while retaining the PNP output configuration. The E6C3-AG5B 360P/R belongs to the E6C3-A Series. It sits within the PNP absolute rotary encoder range offered as part of Omron industrial sensing products.
