The Omron E6A2-CW3E 500P/R 0.5M Rotary Encoder converts shaft rotation into incremental electrical signals for position-related and speed monitoring functions in automated machinery. Its 500 P/R resolution with Phase A/B voltage outputs provides two-phase rotational information for compatible industrial control equipment. A 25 mm diameter housing gives the encoder a compact installation profile, while the 0.5 m pre-wired cable provides a direct connection for nearby control devices. The encoder operates from a 5 to 12 VDC power supply. Within the same mechanical platform, its 500 P/R specification provides a higher pulse count than lower-resolution E6A2-C variants. The E6A2-CW3E 500P/R belongs to the E6A2-C incremental encoder series. It forms part of the compact shaft encoder range within Omron motion sensing products.
