Omron E6C3-CWZ3EH 600P/R 1M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6C3-CWZ3EH 600P/R 1M Rotary Encoder is an incremental shaft encoder configured to translate mechanical rotation into electrical pulses for machine control and monitoring functions. It provides 600 P/R with A/B/Z NPN voltage outputs, allowing compatible control equipment to receive shaft movement, direction, and reference signals. The encoder operates from 5 to 12 VDC and uses a 50 mm diameter housing. Its 1 m pre-wired cable supports installations where the associated controller or interface is positioned relatively close to the sensing point. The E6C3-CWZ3EH 600P/R is one of the configurations within the E6C3-C Series. It is included in the 600 P/R incremental encoder range associated with Omron machine sensing solutions.
