The Omron E6A2-CS5C 300P/R 2M is a space-efficient incremental shaft encoder that delivers 300 PPR output on Phase A, making it suitable for applications where simple rotational pulse feedback is required. Its NPN open collector output ensures easy compatibility with a wide range of PLCs and input modules. The unit features a 2-meter pre-wired cable, offering extended wiring flexibility during installation in compact or distributed systems.
Engineered with a 25 mm aluminum alloy housing, the encoder combines durability with compactness. It operates on a voltage range of 5 to 12 VDC, draws a low 30 mA maximum current, and supports a 30 kHz response frequency, suitable for low-to-mid-speed rotation sensing. Designed for industrial use, it functions reliably within a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C and complies with IEC IP50 for dust protection. The package includes essential accessories such as couplings, an instruction manual, and a hex-head spanner for fast setup.

Applications of Omron E6A2-CS5C 300P/R 2M
The Omron E6A2-CS5C 300P/R 2M is well-suited for basic rotary motion feedback in conveyors, label dispensers, small packaging machines, and low-speed motor systems. Its single-channel (Phase A) output is ideal for simple pulse-counting or speed-monitoring applications that do not require directional sensing or quadrature output.
Industrial maintenance teams across India use this encoder for space-limited retrofits or where encoder complexity needs to be minimized. Its lightweight form factor and extended 2-meter cable allow easy integration into panel-mounted or sensor-to-controller wiring paths. Automation labs and student projects also leverage this model to demonstrate real-world encoder principles in a simplified format. For an affordable, compact, and reliable encoder backed by Omron’s industrial pedigree, the E6A2-CS5C 300P/R 2M delivers consistent performance across automation tasks.
