Omron E6H-CWZ6C 300P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6H-CWZ6C 300P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental hollow-shaft encoder used to generate pulse feedback from rotating machine shafts. It provides 300 P/R with A/B/Z open-collector outputs, allowing compatible industrial controllers to monitor rotational movement, direction, and reference position. The encoder operates from 5 to 24 VDC and uses a compact 40 mm diameter housing with a 0.5 m pre-wired cable for connection to nearby control equipment. Its 300-pulse resolution provides a defined feedback level within the open-collector E6H-C configurations. The E6H-CWZ6C 300P/R belongs to the E6H-C Series. It is grouped with other 300 P/R incremental encoders available as part of Omron motion control products.
