Omron E6H-CWZ3X 3600P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6H-CWZ3X 3600P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental hollow-shaft encoder designed to generate high-resolution rotational information for industrial machine control. Its 3600 P/R resolution with A/-A, B/-B, and Z/-Z line-driver outputs supplies complementary pulse pairs for monitoring shaft movement, direction, and reference position. A 5 to 12 VDC supply powers the encoder, while the 40 mm diameter housing provides a compact mechanical format around the machine shaft. The 0.5 m pre-wired cable supports connection to nearby control equipment. The E6H-CWZ3X 3600P/R establishes its relationship with the E6H-C Series. Its resolution places it among the 3600 P/R rotary encoder models within Omron position sensing products.
