Omron E6A2-CS3C 100P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6A2-CS3C 100P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is a compact incremental shaft encoder designed to detect rotational movement where a small encoder body is required. Its 100 P/R resolution with Phase A NPN output provides a single-phase pulse signal for compatible counting, speed monitoring, and rotational detection equipment. The encoder operates from 5 to 12 VDC and uses a compact 25 mm diameter housing, making its mechanical format smaller than many 40 mm and 50 mm encoder families. A 0.5 m pre-wired cable provides the electrical connection for nearby control equipment. The E6A2-CS3C 100P/R belongs to the E6A2-C incremental encoder series. It is grouped with other compact rotary encoder models within Omron rotational sensing products.
