Omron E6A2-CW3E 360P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder
The Omron E6A2-CW3E 360P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder is an incremental shaft encoder used to provide rotational pulse feedback from compact machine mechanisms. It combines 360 P/R resolution with Phase A/B voltage outputs, supplying two-phase signals that compatible control equipment can use to monitor shaft movement and direction. The encoder operates from 5 to 12 VDC and uses a compact 25 mm diameter body with a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. This short-cable configuration supports installations where the control connection is positioned close to the encoder. The E6A2-CW3E 360P/R is one of the configurations within the E6A2-C Series. It also belongs to the 360 P/R voltage output encoder range forming part of Omron machine automation products.
